My Tank Thread
So today I got in a pair of AI Nero 5 pumps. I got them from my good friend @Reef-Tank
Figured I'd give them a try as I was looking for something different from my ice cap gyres. Don't get me wrong, they work great and I love them, but I was looking for something different. Plus I'm a tech junkie and am always looking to try new things. I used to have a pair of Vortech MP10's and I missed them. I couldn't shell out for a pair of MP40's so these were the next best thing.
These pumps are rated at 3,000 gallons per hour each, and after I took them out of the box I thought to my self "yeah right, there's no way. Maybe together they'd reach 3k"
But I installed them, hooked them all up, and since I have the hydra 26HD's the Nero is ran off the same app which is really nice, and do they push water! I was blown away at how much a little pump could move! Linking them to the app was a breeze. You can go in and set schedules, see what gallons per hour each pump is currently running at, feed mode, set the pumps at full power for a set amount of time, which after they'll go back to their schedule, run a child and parent setup so one mimics the other or does the opposite of the other.
These little guys are amazing. If you've considered trying them i'd highly recommend them
