Aqua illumination orbit 4

Orbit® 4

The all-new  Orbit 2 and  Orbit 4 cross-flow pumps join the popular  AI Nero lineup as submersible in-tank powerheads. 

The  fully controllable and programmable  Orbit 2 is  perfect for medium to large aquariums, while the  Orbit 4 produces twice the flow to support larger systems.

Cross-flow pumps provide a tank circling or  "orbiting" flow that is great for water turnover and also helps  prevent detritus from settling. The compact design means that these pumps can be placed either  horizontally or vertically in most aquariums, giving you even more flow customization options.

Included Pump Modes

Ecosystem of Flow

Orbit pumps produce a  unique type of flow.   

Circling the aquarium with water movement - like the water that moves within the ocean.  

Orbit provides a  cross-flow current that simulates the  tidal flow experienced on ocean reefs that is an excellent mechanism for lifting excess nutrients from the bottom of the aquarium for removal by filtration.

Like ocean currents, it is not just one type of flow that makes the reef thrive, but really make your aquarium  thrive with flows of all types.   

When combined with the directional and random flow patterns of our  Nero pump line a true recreation of ocean flow can be  achieved- powerful, directional, systematic, and chaotic.

Simple Built-in Control

• All AI devices  include smart control standard.
• Choose from the  myAI®  or Mobius app on any iOS or Android device to easily set up or program your  AI equipment.
• Add Neptune Fusion control via Apex with Apex and MXM module.

Forward and Reverse

Orbit has the  ability to operate in both forward and reverse modes.

• Augment custom flow patterns and programs with reverse operation.
• Use the reverse functionality to create turbulent flow, which helps remove detritus.
• Multiple pumps can be run in opposite directions to augment gyre or circular flow.
