Small, Powerful, and Smart!
Max Flow - 3000 GPH
Aqua Illumination's Nero 5 creates an adjustable broad flow
that is strong but gentle at the same time. Traditional
propeller designs produce a hard stream that can irritate
corals where the Nero 5's innovative propeller pushes
water in a wide pattern that can move foods, detritus, or other
free-floating particles around without blasting corals
directly. Powerheads have many different uses around a reef
tank, but the main goal is to produce enough flow to keep
low-flow spots from forming in your tank and help elevate
detritus to be sucked into the filtration. With BlueTooth LE
technology you can set the pump up into different modes, or
create a daily schedule to change the flow up throughout the
day.

Control
Now with BlueTooth LE, connect to your pumps faster with a
longer range and unlocks a bunch of features, but mostly lets
you skip the whole process of creating a wireless network to
interface through. Now with the Aqua Illumination Nero 5, open
the MyAi App, choose a mode, and control the flow in your
aquarium. Different flow modes let you choose what is right for
your corals and fish. A couple notable modes are the Random and
Schedule modes, create a full-blown daily schedule that cycles
through different modes and settings throughout the day, or let
the Nero 5 randomize itself with the Random mode. The
included controller only has one button but is very powerful
and if you do not want to control the pump through a smart
device don't worry, pressing or holding the button for
different lengths of time can change the speed, mode, or turn
the pump off or on without having to access any additional
control interfaces.
Flow Modes:
- Random - Keep your tank guessing with the random flow mode.
The Nero 5 will randomly change its flow rate throughout the
day creating natural water movement throughout your reef
tank.
- Pulse - Creating a standing wave can be done with the Nero
5 in Pulse Mode. The pulse interval can be changed to harmonize
with your aquarium, along with the max flow rate. Having a wave
can cause additional stress on your aquarium, but is a great
method for lifting settled detritus from hard to reach
areas.
- Constant - Set it and forget it! Just set the appropriate
flow rate and the Nero 5 will keep flowing at that speed until
you change the mode or flow.
- Schedule - Create a schedule that can utilize multiple
different flow modes. With the MyAi app creating a schedule for
your flow is simple and can be done in minutes!
- Feed - If you target feed, having a pump with feed mode is
a requirement. Just hold the driver button for 2-5 seconds to
put the Nero 5 into feed mode for 10 minutes.
- All-Off - Turn off your pump whenever you want with full
control over when they turn back on. Just hold the driver
button for 6 or more seconds to turn the pump off. Touching the
button again will restart the pump.
