About
Aqua Illumination myAI is the smart control platform designed exclusively for AquaIllumination's ecosystem of aquarium LED lights and water-flow pumps. Built for marine reef enthusiasts and freshwater hobbyists alike, myAI allows users to program, automate, and fine-tune every aspect of their tank's lighting and flow environment from a single intuitive interface. With myAI, aquarists can set complex daily lighting schedules with sunrise and sunset simulations, dial in precise color spectrum outputs across multiple LED channels, and adjust flow patterns and pump intensity for Nero, Orbit, and Axis pumps. The app supports the entire AI product family — Hydra Edge, Hydra 32HD/64HD, Prime, Blade strips, and all current pump lines — enabling unified control regardless of tank size or configuration. Smart automation features let users create weather effects, storm simulations, and timed ramp-up sequences that mimic natural aquatic environments, promoting coral growth and fish health. The app also offers remote access so hobbyists can monitor and adjust their tanks from anywhere. Designed with both beginners and advanced reefers in mind, myAI simplifies complex aquarium management while offering deep customization for power users. It is available as a free companion app for all AquaIllumination hardware owners.

Use Cases
- Reef tank hobbyists automating daily lighting schedules with sunrise, sunset, and lunar cycle simulations to promote coral growth.
- Freshwater aquarium keepers fine-tuning spectrum outputs on Blade or Prime Freshwater LEDs for planted tank optimization.
- Advanced reefers programming multi-pump flow sequences with Nero and Orbit pumps to replicate ocean surge patterns.
- Busy aquarists remotely monitoring and adjusting their tank's environment while away from home.
- Beginners using myAI presets to quickly set up healthy lighting and flow conditions without manual configuration.
