Orbit Cross-Flow Pump
A magnetic cross-flow pump that sends a wide sheet of water along the whole tank. The Aqua Illumination Orbit is a cross-flow pump (a long, flat pump that pushes a broad band of water end to end rather than a single jet) that mounts on the inside of the glass with an outer magnet, so there is no drilling or plumbing. Aqua Illumination designs it to mimic tidal flow on a reef and to lift detritus (settled waste) off the bottom so your filtration can remove it. Choose the Orbit 2 or the larger Orbit 4.
Key features
- Four modes: Constant Speed, Pulse, Random and Reverse. Reverse lets you run the pump backwards, or run two pumps in opposite directions to build a gyre (a circular flow around the tank).
- Smart control from the Mobius or myAI app on iOS and Android, or from a Neptune Apex with an MXM module (sold separately).
- In-line controller on the lead steps through 1, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 per cent, with feed mode and on and off.
- Mounts horizontally or vertically on the glass.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for circulation in reef and marine display tanks within the sizes above. Not suitable for glass thicker than the limit for each model, as the magnet may not hold. It is a circulation pump only, so it does not replace your return pump or filter.
Safety
The mounting magnet is strong, so keep fingers clear when bringing the two halves together on the glass. Keep the power adapter away from water and splash, and plug it into an RCD (safety switch) protected outlet.
