Glad I could be of some help with this video 👍🏻

Thank you for your kind and great that you enjoyed it 🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻

They certainly seem to pack a punch and love how small the unit and controller is. Did you beta test it before launch?

@@fishpalace I had a beta one yes

I have found it useful as a smaller pump to do that. I also use tunze powerheads for that purpose as they are smaller, less powerful and also cheaper but very reliable IMO.

Thanks for pointing that out, totally missed it, and for watching 👍🏻 fish guard aside what do you think of the Nero 3?

You can still tilt it just not as much

@@fishpalace I’m quite happy with it, I have a 125 litre tank. It didn’t disturb the water surface enough so I’ve put it low down behind my aquascape pushing water along the back so I don’t get any dead spots. For main flow I use a maxspect jump gyre.

I have a 5 and 3 dont run with safty covers never lost a fish but its bot impossible. Every time i turn it off for feeding my cleaner wrasse climbs into it to forage.

@@Vidishish good to know. not had a gyre before but read good things about them and they certainly seem to move the water and agitate the surface

Oh no. In the UK we could take that back and get a brand new replacement but I don’t know what the faulty good laws are in US. I would contact the store and see what they say 😢

@@fishpalace Thanks for replying. Wifey got it to move again by forcing it to move a little. Somehow it got jammed with no debris in it. If what she described is accurate it is only a matter of time before it happens again. It probably has a manufacturing defect. Thanks again for replying!

@@_Wake_Up_If_U_Can no no problem and thanks for watching. Just quickly googled and looks like consumer buying rights in Oregan are up to 30 days for faulty goods so I would keep a close eye on it

You got a lemon built On a monday. I have 2 Nero 3’s on my 48gallon reef an they have IMO a near perfect footprint. They don’t have a cord free design like the MP line of ecotech pumps but they make up for that with the lack of the MP dry side

Thanks for watching. My Nero is now running on 65% pulse and is silent. I will ramp up to 100% in the dd 900 and mp10 in the RSR 170 with both on constant flow and see what noise they both produce. Will update tomorrow 👍🏻

Turned both up to 100% and I would say the mp10 was slightly louder but both are very quiet IMO. I have found with mp40’s that noice can vary based on thickness of glass and wear and tear and position of wet side too.

@@fishpalace Thank you for taking the time to look into it!

I have not used a Jebao for a while so hard to tell but Nero 3 is upto 7570 l/h so very similar flow rates. As you are running jeboa at 50% you may have to run nero3 at say 55% so in theory I would say yes they are comparable Whilst you can move the Nero 3 at about a 15 degree angle the jeboa should be adjustable to a larger degree but not sure if that is relevant I am however very happy with mine after a few months and really compliments an mp40 and Tunze powerhead

@@fishpalace Thankyou for your input

Did u end up getting 2 Nero 3 mark Thor?

It certainly is and ecotechs new app Mobius looks very much like the AI app with a couple of screens being identical.

It is hard to comment on how low it goes compared to the % shown within the app but from what I can see it appears to go below 50% of max. If you are looking for say 10% of max so 200gph I cannot confirm if this is the case , sorry.

@@fishpalace thank you

Long. Just measured, which is hard to do when all set up, and 140cm from plug to controller and roughly another 180cm from controller to power head. So that is over 3 meters or 9 foot I would say but not exact

@@fishpalace Cheers thats spot on. o have a converted roma 125 going to get 2 nero 3 in the new year, I have a dry cupboard woth controllers, was concerned it wouldn't reach but that should be fine. Cheers for replying 👍

Depends on what you are looking to keep in tank as 1 just about reaches the other end of the 3 foot tank I have so 2 would create a decent flow but not really strong IMO. You would probably need to add more flow later if you were keeping sps. Also depends on aquascape as that can break up flow

It is comparable with an MP10 but depends what you want from it. In my 3 foot tank it supplements the flow alongside an mp40 and a tunze so is perfect but would not be strong enough as the primary powerhead along the front of the tank

@@fishpalace I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium and fish only and live rock and I want a wave maker to agitate the surface and add flow for the live rock. I bought 55 pounds of Pukani dry rock a month ago from a guy in AZ and it was never used and still in the box from Bulk Reef Supplies. For $150.00. I bought the Nero 3 recommended from Aquaillumination that it would be strong enough. I thought about the Nero 5. But he told me at it’s lowest speed is still to strong. Is he correct?

Thanks for the comment. I am not trying to justify a Nero over a Jeboa as this is a straight comparison between 2 popular powerheads 🤷‍♂️ Some prefer the Jaboa but I prefer ecotech and have had their pumps for years. Great thing about this hobby is such a choice of kit and price points too 👌🏻

I have not run a Nero 5 but from looks of it built on same technology, roughly twice as much power, larger footprint and costs about 33% more.

Not experienced that with the Nero on this tank.

This is a tough one as depends on what you consider loud and where the tank will sit, mine is in garage. The loudest setting for me is pulse at 60% and I can just about hear it. I consider the pump to be quiet compared to ecotech, Jaboa and tunze . Hope that helps

@@fishpalace yes, thank you

I have mine running now at 65% on pulse mode and is not silent but not what I would call noticeable but every tank and setting is different. I have an mp40 as main flow and Nero 3 supports as not strong enough to be a primary pump in my 90cm tank. Many Thanks for your comments 🙏🏻

All good after 8 months. Is the mp10 the older version with white controller as if it is they are noisier than the mp10QD. I have an mp40wes as a back up and is louder than an mp40qd

@@fishpalace yes, the mp10 has the white controller.

That is the downside of this and many other pumps and why I have gone for vortech pumps, until now. Not so much of an issue with the dd reef pro tanks though as you can keep it tidy and use the dry weir area to run out of the display. 👍🏻

You just have 👌🏻. What would you like to know?

I have a Nero 3 on the Red Sea peninsula and like it. Will be ok when you first start but I added a tunze powerhead too. I also have a Red Sea 170 and have an mp10 but that is more expensive that a Nero and a tunze. 2 pumps are likely to be required on a 2 foot but does depend on scape and corals

@@fishpalace it’s a mixed reef plan on keeping like 3 sps

Go for 1 powerhead for now and can always add another 👌🏻. My Nero 3 does a great job on my RSMN pen 👏🏻👏🏻

Yea I figured could I just get another Nero 3 and put it adjacent or go stronger like a 5 I do want to mess around with sps and mane my nano a mixed reef

Always easier to choose what you need as a 2nd pump once you have the tank running for a while. I think best to set up use 1 pump and go from there

Sorry but you have totally lost me 🤷‍♂️
