Nero 5 too big for a 26 Gal?

[Turpstur]

Hello! As the title of the post says, I was wondering if a Nero 5 would be too much juice for a 26 gallon Red Sea Max Nano peninsula, obviously with the power turned down. With the Nero 3 shortage and hearing from the people over at TSA that Nero 3s are on backorder til possibly February of next year, I dont think I want to wait. I also dont want to pay $300 for the only listing I found on ebay when I can buy the Nero 5 for cheaper. Any input is valued, I prefer the Nero series due to the slim form factor.

Yeah would be a bit of overkill. i use a nero 3 in a 20 peninsula and have it at like 30%.

Much so. Go with Nero 3 which itself is strong
