Any experience or thoughts with the AI Nero 5 Powerhead? My gyre is crapping out and I was deciding between an MP40 and an Octo Pulse 4 and now this. I have a 4', 120 gallon mixed reef.

I’ve read nothing but problems with the magnets hope they fix it
Similarly I've had nothing but problems with EcoTech pumps. Except it's them cracking and rusting, not the magnets
After trying every brand I could, I came to a simple determination -- Nothing beats Tunze. Best quality. Best warranty. Most reliability. Non-rusting magnets. STRONG magnets.
I would rather have a cord in a tank over another busted cheap vortech pump.
I hear ya here is my mp10 wetside never again
Right as I said never again that’s why I was stoked for the Nero but waiting on the weak magnet fix to at least try them
Maybe with user feed back about cheaply made ai will look at better material and agree they will address the magnet for surePeople say they are cheaply made.. I guess I can see that. The magnet is a problem for sure, they will fix that AI has usually been good with that. BUT, they move a TON of water in a very wide flow pattern. A guy in my club has a 120 gallon with 2 WAV pumps each at 4,000 gph, a sea swirl with 700 gph and his Nero outshines them all. I think he'd almost replace his WAV's with them soon.
