I have almost zero interest in this pump. But I love this channel....so why not give it a view, a like, and a comment!

Thank you very much for starting out with both so we can see the size difference.

Ive been waiting for a review on these, thank you!

Great review! Thank You. You really hit all the boxes and added some useful tips.

Super helpful! Been looking at these a lot recently! Another great video!

Was going to go back to my vortech, looked at other videos but then found this video and it's made my decision on getting one! Thanks

Great vid Jake loving the bookshelf too , I too have the Veron Coral books, Julian Sprungs The Reef Aquarium and the Nilsen and Fossa Modern coral reef aquarium series. Great books for inspiration just before we had full interwebs

Incredible little powerhead! Thanks for the thorough review! This really showcased the versatility and utility of this powerhead, I can't believe the price for all you get!

A nice sleek yet powerful pump. I like how small the foot print is. Going to have to order a couple of them for my 40g breeder tank. Great review Jake.. 👍

Must say! Awesome review, did one over the weekend just havnt had time to edit and post! Must admit you NAILED IT! totally a rockin pump for 2020 price is right and the flow/percormance unbeatable

As always thanks for your effort Jake!

Awesome and informative vid. Just bought mine; thanks!

Excellent job Jake 👍🏻I see you have some great reference on your book shelf!! Sprung and Delbeek! 😃I wish some of the newer reefers would visit these books. Great video!

Nice 👍👍👍 pump works great very versatile a big plus thanks for the information and review Jake

Definitely on my wish list. What a spectacular pump.

Nice review, I’m planning on purchasing one of these.

Great Review!! Thank you!!

I loved my Nero 5 so much i bought another and now that they have come out with this smaller one I will definitely be getting one for my waterbox 20 cube reef.

added to my 90 gal in the top front left side . stirred up enough water to make the skimmer produce more. great pump

Good job Jake as always!

Ohhhh the lps tank 💕 thanks for the great review!

Great review. I’ve just picked up a Nero 5 and a Nero 3.

I just bought this today at my local fish store, Blue Reef Aquatics here in Las Vegas. Hoping for the best!

Jake you always have the dopest music on your vids!!! Love the content but groovin too

Take my money!! This will be perfect to add more flow to my mix reef🤙🏼

I bought one a few days ago for my 25 lagoon. Good to hear about the cord. I have a jaebo slw10 very similar design that has a fat cord that wont stay at the angle i want the powerhead at. I think the skinny cord will help keep it in place.

I got two of them for my 40g, cant wait!

Fusion needs a next gen over haul...good stuff!

Looks nice I need one

Good video, seems to be a great little pump! I just got it yesterday but haven"t run it yet. Any recommendations on placement in a 20g IM Peninsula? I was thinking on overflow wall

Getting a few of these bad boys for sure!

I bought 2 of them at launch and they are a great pump but not quite enough for a full 93g cube mixed reef. I also tried them in my 3ft peninsula and a no go there as well. In a biocube or something of that size it’ll be perfect!!!

Great Review Jake🙏. I am hoping next year to get a Waterbox Reef 130.4, for bigger tanks like that do you think 5-6 Nero 3 ‘s on the back wall would work? I’m thinking good for redundancy, cleaning schedules different flow options in the tank... or would you recommend bigger pumps like wave makers or MP60s

Can you do a video or a blog on all the books you have? Been looking to build my library

I was waiting for a smaller version of the Nero 5. To I have 2 on my 120 reef and are Great set up a nano tank I think Nero 3 wel be the perfect fit I am running all AI light

I got this nero 3 after watching your video. it is epic. the only thing i wish it had was the cable outside the tank.

Hey jake, wondering if you could make a fragging video for corals that are grown into rocks like some in that lps. Curious to see how you’d go about it.

I feel like this might be perfect for my 25g lagoon. Thanks for the review Jake!

Great review. Did you have to do anything special to get the cord to stay in the corner? Seriously debating between this and a MP10. The only thing holding me up is the cord. Thanks.

Things to know. I have two Nero 5’s, which uses the same app. I like them a lot but there are a few things to know that might be a deal breaker if you auto feed or need to stop flow completely to target feed your corals. 1st, You can’t program feed mode into your daily 24hr period, it has to be done directly from the app or from the controller. 2nd, Feed mode is not really a feed mode, it only reduces the flow to about 33% of maximum flow. For the Nero 5 that’s still 954gph. The only ways to turn them off completely is in the dashboard of the app and hit “Pumps Off”, or unplug them and remember to turn them back on. On the good side, they push water awesome, they are very controllable and a breeze to clean. Edit: I see they have added(or was always there?)the ability to program feed mode(not completely off). It was hidden and needs to be scrolled up. That’s great! Please let us turn it completely off.

Awesome Video. Would that guard protect BTA's from getting sucked in?

great video! I had a quick question. I have a 20 cube waterbox tank and I upgraded my return pump with a sicce 1.0 and I also have a korolia 425 on the tank. Would you recommend me adding a AI Nero 3 wave pump to the tank aswell? Or should I take out the korolia pump? I just want to make sure there is not too much flow! I currently have softies and lps. livestock- 2 clownfish, royal gramma, hermits, and snails. thanks

Great video! Who built your tanks again? Also did the bank finance your studio?

I have Nero 3 on a Lagoon 25 and I absolutely love it

I have a heavy heart watching this video tonight 😔😔

Looks easy to clean too. My only issue with gyres

Love the Neros. After breaking so many jebaos I just took the plunge and got the Nero 5. Been happy since

Thanks Jake. It looks like an interesting pump. Also, have you done a video on the Mangrove tank?

i got a nero3 in my 20gal and love it but with the fish guard on you cut you 15 degrees of angle down to like 3 maybe 4.

How large is the magnet on the back? I’m trying to find a pump I can use in the back of my AIO but been having issues finding ones that have small enough (flat) magnet that could go into one of the chambers

Going to end up picking up 2 of these little guys and put them on the back of the IM tanks i have. =)

I have a 36 gallon bowfront currently but upgrading to a 120 soon. My 2 jaebos died after 3 months! What size would you recommend that i can use both now and when I upgrade? Could I get way with just one of the bigger ones for now and be able to get enough flow for the whole tank. I had my jaebos on the sides and kind of directly blasting because I bought the small nano ones. I would like to get a gyre type flow, I think thats what you call it when it put up high and hits the wall and comes back around. I was looking into the mp40's because of the battery back up mainly. do you think its worth the xtra or could I get a battery cheaper? Also do I need the phone to just shut off for feed mode? I tend to lose my phone a lot and just prefer remotes versus phone apps! I am not savvy at all with high tech gadgets! LOL

Jake. If the power goes out, does the pump retain the programming or do you start at square one?

Jake, great review, since they have absolutely the same interface with mobius (vortech), any chance for synced controability from one app? (E.g. feed mode etc.)

What size and how many of the Nero would you recommend for a 5 foot tank?

I got this great pump

Hi, I have a 100g , 26 inch deep mixed reef tank with Vectra m2 return, Tunze 6025 low down to one side and two jebao RW-8 near the top at opposite ends. One of the Jebao has failed so looking at getting a pair of AI Nero's and dropping the remaining RW-8 down to opposite the Tunze. I run the Rw-8's and less than 1/2 power and they're supposed to be 8000l/h. Are the AI Nero 3's strong enough?

What is the best pulse mode times to have on to get detritus moving from the base?

I like how close you can place it to the top of the water without sucking air.

Cheers Jake, any news on a larger version of the pump? Obviously Nero 5, anything else in the pipeline?? Really hate seeing pumps and wires or equipment in my aquariums, the Nero certainly seems to hide well.

Can this be used on a 10x10x10 4.5 gallon cube, mixed reef or is it to powerful?

I have the fluval evo 13.5 gallon (52 litres) I mainly have torch corals and what a controllable gentle wave motion, which at the moment I don’t have :’( Will the Nero 3 be ok for this small a tank?? It’s only 50 litres.....

Do you know if the dry side of the magnet can go into water? The tank I would Put it on would make me place the dry magnet in water to hold the Nero in place

Would the Nero 3 be sufficient for a 65 gallon cichlid tank or should I go with Nero 5 ?

The Ecotech Vortech has the Wire OUTSIDE the tank. I would be 100% on board with this one if it could do that

Whats the best setting for fluval m90 40g whit anemone and shrimp ?

HI Jake. Can the dry-side magnet be submerged?

would this work for my 32 gallon planted freshwater tank? its 30inch wide, bowed front 17 inches at the center point. or would i have to go with the bigger one?

Hi I have a 35 litre tank would 1 Nero 3 be enough for my tank ? Many thanks

hey man. which one do you recommend for a 55 gal ?

Looks like it's new pump time for m 29G Biocube!

Whats the largest tank this pump will work on?

Do you have a video for the AI Nero 5 ??

I'm really wondering if this would be overkill for my WaterBox Cube 10

I know this is an old video but would a nero 3 be good enough for a 55 gallon tank?

The only reason why I'm torn between this and an mp10 is because of of the mp's ease of cleaning (swapping wet side). I guess buying two of these for swapping comes out to the same price of one mp10....any suggestions?

How many of the AI Nero 3 pumps would you recommend on a IM Nuvo Fusion 20 (not Peninsula) tank with spin stream nozzles? Mostly LPS, but want to try SPS. Thanks!

How many liters that tank??shat do you think of nero 3 on a nanoreef 40 x 40 x 40? Is too much??thx

Would you think the Nero3 would be to small for a 120gal 48x24x24 aquarium?

Can the next video be about corals with little to no toxin? I want to be able to work in and around my tank without the hassle!

Ok is the Nero 5 too big for my 55 gallon, if not what speed would you keep it at ?

How is the 1% setting measured in liters per hour?

Where can u get everyone is sold out

Hi would those good for red sea 250 reefer pair? Thanks

I want all the Nero pumps

Would 2 of these pumps work well for a 40 gallon breeder? I think Nero 5 would be too strong for a 40 gallon breeder, right?

do you know if the rear magnet is completely sealed? I'm thinking of mounting it on to the overflow portion of my RSR350

Is the outside magnet water proof. Was thinking of adding to my overflow, and have it hit some problem areas in back. But wasnt sure if magent would hold up under water.

What's Nero3 1%/minimum flow rate?

2 nero 3 or 2 nero 5 for innovated marine 50g lagoon aio mixed reef?

and a link for the product?

Hi guys, love te video. I have a 20g cube, but I am worried the nero 3 wil have to high of a minimum setting,(nero 5 runs at 37% of the max 3000g at 1% setting) for my LPS tank. Lets say the Nero 3 has the same 37% at 1% setting, my turnover rate would be 37! (Not counting the returnpump). I would love to have a controllable pump though. What do you guys think I schould do?

In terms of size, this is a small pump but, can it still be too big? I am strongly thinking of 1 for my 10gallon mixed reef in conjunction with a prime 16hd! Any thoughts?

Dude that app looks like Mobius!? So are we able to run these AI products on Mobius?? Cause that would be a vibe and I’ll get 2 to support my mp40s

The long cord is actually a negative for me. I have my power strip set up next to my tank and it's wayyy to much slack, just make cable management that much more difficult

How loud is this pump?

I have a 35x18x14 reef tank. Will it work on my reef tank...

The app UI looks the same as Mobius for Ecotech - do they have the same app developer?

What would you recommend to safe-guard this for anemones? Any advice in general would be awesome I want to be safe with my first anemone!

I have a red sea 170 that isn’t getting as much flow as i’d like for me to add more sps. I think one of these is the perfect option for me.
