After a little over a year one of my Nero 3's has already died and since it’s dead and out of warranty I decided to take a hammer to and and see what’s inside. Inside the pump is wet, rusty, and filled with a sand like material that has a weird smell. I have no idea what they’re putting in these pumps but it definitely has to be leaching into the tank. The smell inside the pump isn't a reef tank related smell, it has a chemical smell to it.
