Has anyone made a nem guard for nero 3?

Matt Miller · Dec 22, 2020

I'm trying to make one by scaling down from a Nero 5 guard. Has anyone had any luck making one for the 3?

You may want to check out Fish of Hex's stuff for 3D printed guards, etc. Although, I thought that the Nero 5 and Nero 3 have both shipped with guards since this past summer.

I made one scaled down from the 5 but didn't work right. @ocpondpoacher made a model that I will be checking out tonight.

The point is when you buy a used one and do not get one and earlier model 5 which I have did not come with one. They do now

Nope, it comes with a fish guard, bigger slots.

I purchased a Nero 3 anemone guard from eBay and it works. When I first got a rainbow RBTA in Dec it floated around the tank for the first week. It almost got sucked up by the Nero 3 with fish guard. Good thing I was watching it and was able to turn off the pump in time. I left the pump off until I got the guard. The anemone lead still trying to find a good home and as it floated by the Nero 3 it bounced off the guard instead of getting sucked in. Finally a day later the anemone found a spot and hasn’t moved since.
