Beautiful tank Dmitry. I have 4 MP40s on my Acropora tank and I'm thinking of switching to these. I don't care for the wire, but it would beat falling wetsides from the MP40s which is always an issue. Another very nice positive is the ability to angle the Nero 7. That's something the MP40 can't do and I could run all of these on the back wall at different angles.
I love your videos and tanks. I believe that the 0.51 inch measurement is in reference to the width of the external magnet. They just didnt use indicator brackets. It is a confusing diagram.
Oh my, I think it will come down to your cord and how you like to run them. I'm a HUGE fan of the Nero 7, they've been a big and only source of flow in my five footer
Neither, I wanted to try something different where the fixture would just float over water, plus since this was a five footer there was a big of a sagging to the led light which was less than optimal. So here I'm just re-using my Hydra 64HD mounts and it seems to work quite well
@Treasure Corals yes , thank you I saw that video after I wrote. To mount the blades to the hydra 64 mounts do you need any special adapter to attach the blades? I was told that I need an adapter to mount three blades on one arm. Thank you
I'm thinking about nero 7s instead of going mp60s, less than half the price. What I did is buy a vectra l2 for my cade 2100, this means that if I lose power I have flow not just in my display but also through my sump, which means better oxygen and also that I won't lose life in my sump. Just a thought
@@TreasureCorals After I looked into it its known they can leave bite marks in acrylic tanks. The top of my Nero 5 looks like sand paper was taken to it the cord almost cut through the covering. Just make sure to keep him off the pump.
Great powerheads, I am running 6 of them in my 250 g tank. If you have small fish, using the fishguard is a must. Without fishguard these powerheads are fish killers.
@@TreasureCorals Well, 1) for some reason AI offers the "Fish Guard" :-) 2) Some talk about even healthy Tangs that got killed (which I doubt, unless they were very young). But I am almost sure that some fish like Labroides dimidiatus, other wrasses, Chromis and invertebrats like snails and shrimps can get sucked in.
Interesting point. I never even thought about the DC/AC when it comes to powerheads. Having said that, what is your reservation with regards to AC in the tank? power efficiency?
@@bobbyknox9258 fair concern, one thing I do is examine all of my powerheads (and wet sides of the MP40s) at regular times to make sure I catch anything before it becomes an issue
@@TreasureCorals no, the problem is that an AC pump is mains voltage and not electrically isolated like a DC pump is because of the power transformer. This is a problem for spinning devices because you eventually end up with friction wear that will form cracks in the housing and eventually the mains voltage will be in your water. This could lead to a main voltage short, and either way there is no regulation of current to something that is simply plugged into your mains electrical via a plug and no "brick". AC shorting in your water will use all available power available to it via your AC breaker, if you have a 50 amp circuit, there is little to stop a short from really ruining your day. A DC pump is electrically isolated from these problems since it's using a transformer and there is a voltage regulator, it can only short as much current as can go through the power brick,which maybe 1-2 amps.
@@TreasureCorals you should take a look at Abe at Coral Euforia TH-cam channel. The wave box with the Nero would probably be all the flow that tank needs
@@TreasureCorals Precisely! The wave motion will not interfere (to a degree) with the flow pattern of the Nero. The Nero would still push water from one end of the tank to the other while the Wavebox provides the gentle rocking motion that allows for the suspending of detritus in the water column and the gentle say of the polips of corals. The only issue is that the wavebox is not “silent”, given the way it operates. There is a BRSTv video where they clearly show the noise it makes. There is a 2021 article from Vincent Chalias in Reef Builders also talking about the same. I believe for LPS corals it would be awesome

I'm impressed! I love my Nero 3 I'm using in my RS170. When I step up to the big leagues This and MP40/60's will be on my list.
It is a mighty powerhead
Just bought a rs170 how does the Nero 3 go on it? Do you recommend two for a sps dominated tank?
@@jessepeach9716 congrats, it is a great little powerhead. I would definitely get two of those for an sps tank to get a bit more randomness.

Well, just bought 4 Nero 7s earlier today. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful!! ❤
Great video
Thank you!
Great looking setup, thanks for the video! I will probably pick one up soon.
I love your videos and tanks. I believe that the 0.51 inch measurement is in reference to the width of the external magnet. They just didnt use indicator brackets. It is a confusing diagram.
Yes, I did make a correction in the video, but got confused for a second there :)
Love my Nero 3 and 5, the 3 on a 10 gallon, the 5 on a 30 gallon, they are so powerful, I have to run them below 20%
I'm currently deciding between two of these or two MP40s. For the difference in price, do you think these are a good option for a 105 gallon tank?
Oh my, I think it will come down to your cord and how you like to run them. I'm a HUGE fan of the Nero 7, they've been a big and only source of flow in my five footer
Ого! Крутейшая помпа; пятерка была суперовая, а эта еще шире поток будет давать❤🎉
Да, она мощная :)
What are your min/max speeds and do you use medium or high variance?
I'm running these at about 75% on a pulse mode - 4 seconds on, 4 seconds off.
Tried the nero3 hope this is as good
Better! :D
What mounts are you using for your AIs there ? I see you’ve moved on from the provided mounts - was salt creep an issue or were they simply too low ?
Neither, I wanted to try something different where the fixture would just float over water, plus since this was a five footer there was a big of a sagging to the led light which was less than optimal. So here I'm just re-using my Hydra 64HD mounts and it seems to work quite well
what is your actually program on the lamps, youcan shared ?
Yes - random alternating at 100%
Beautiful system. The tank looks pretty dim. How much par are you using in there?
I get about 200-240 par across the whole tank. Not sure if I want to go higher as it is predominantly LPS
@@TreasureCorals thanks! the tank looks amazing keep it up
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
The .51" shown on the box is probably the thickness of the outer magnet.
You are correct :)
Can you share your nero schedule and mode settings?
Sure, for which aquarium? Lagoon?
@@TreasureCorals I would be happy about the Lagoon settings
Your glass is 3/4? Is strong the magnet?
this one is 5/8, but it will be fine on 3/4'' as well, very strong magnet
beautiful setup😊..btw, your nemo is laying eggs 😊
Those guys!
Interested on how you mounted your Ai blades would be helpful 😊
I have showed how I did it in one of my blades videos last month, but basically used Hydra 64HD mounts, great setup
@Treasure Corals yes , thank you I saw that video after I wrote. To mount the blades to the hydra 64 mounts do you need any special adapter to attach the blades? I was told that I need an adapter to mount three blades on one arm. Thank you
how does the nero's and mp's compare in terms of reliability and durability?
I think they are both quite premium, mp40 are a lot easier to clean
Where does the wire go at the top. Do you just run it along the top rim?
Yes, and I use special guides to make sure it is nicely organized
@@TreasureCorals
It would be cool to see a video on that. I'm all about trying to make my display tank look clean without chords.
How many un 150x50x50 cm tank?
what's un?
I like my nero but one big downside for me is i could not find a battery backup that works with it.
Oh, I have not even thought about that :) What about a computer UPS?

Фильки тоже роскошные 😍
Какие фильки?
I'm very curious about this pump.
Love it!
If that is a urchin inside your tank watch out, mine almost chewed my Nero 5 cord down to the wire in a few days.
Holy smokes, that's the first time I hear of them doing it. Is that a common occurrence?
@@TreasureCorals After I looked into it its known they can leave bite marks in acrylic tanks. The top of my Nero 5 looks like sand paper was taken to it the cord almost cut through the covering. Just make sure to keep him off the pump.
Great powerheads, I am running 6 of them in my 250 g tank. If you have small fish, using the fishguard is a must. Without fishguard these powerheads are fish killers.
Really, what type of fish you think it might affect?
@@TreasureCorals Well, 1) for some reason AI offers the "Fish Guard" :-) 2) Some talk about even healthy Tangs that got killed (which I doubt, unless they were very young). But I am almost sure that some fish like Labroides dimidiatus, other wrasses, Chromis and invertebrats like snails and shrimps can get sucked in.
I would add the fish guard to be safe
$300 for an AC wavepump, I just don't get it. I pretty much don't want to be putting anything AC into my tank anymore if I can help it.
Interesting point. I never even thought about the DC/AC when it comes to powerheads. Having said that, what is your reservation with regards to AC in the tank? power efficiency?
Eco techs every time for me. Keep as much copper out the tank as possible
@@bobbyknox9258 fair concern, one thing I do is examine all of my powerheads (and wet sides of the MP40s) at regular times to make sure I catch anything before it becomes an issue
@@TreasureCorals yeah the only ones I have worry about are my return pumps now
@@TreasureCorals no, the problem is that an AC pump is mains voltage and not electrically isolated like a DC pump is because of the power transformer.

On that tank you should have a TUNZE wave box. It would give amazing natural movement to all those polyps!
I never had one - a few of my friends had them on their systems and it was awesome, I never even saw these for sale in the past 5 years.
@@TreasureCorals you should take a look at Abe at Coral Euforia TH-cam channel. The wave box with the Nero would probably be all the flow that tank needs
Really attractive option to mp40’s which are almost twice the price… only question is long term reliability.
@@vascojardim6703 very familiar with Abe and his awesome channel. Are you suggesting a wave box AND a Nero? what's the rationale?
@@TreasureCorals Precisely! The wave motion will not interfere (to a degree) with the flow pattern of the Nero. The Nero would still push water from one end of the tank to the other while the Wavebox provides the gentle rocking motion that allows for the suspending of detritus in the water column and the gentle say of the polips of corals.

never been a fan of an in-aquarium wavemaker. yet i own a nero 3. 😂
:) funny how it works
