AI Nero Powerhead Wavemakers

AI Nero Powerhead Wavemakers - Aqua Illumination

Aqua Illumination's Nero Pumps create an adjustable broad flow that is strong but gentle at the same time. Traditional propeller designs produce a hard stream that can irritate corals whereas the Nero's innovative propeller pushes water in a wide pattern that can move foods, detritus, or other free-floating particles around without blasting corals directly. Powerheads have many different uses around a reef tank, but the main goal is to produce enough flow to keep low-flow spots from forming in your tank and help elevate detritus to be sucked into the filtration. With Bluetooth technology, you can set the pump up into different modes, or create a daily schedule to change the flow up throughout the day.

Control

Now with Bluetooth, connect to your pumps faster with a longer range and unlock a bunch of features, but mostly lets you skip the whole process of creating a wireless network to interface through. Now with the aqua illumination nero, open the myai app, choose a mode, and control the flow in your aquarium. Different flow modes let you choose what is right for your corals and fish. A couple of notable modes are the random and scheduled modes, which create a full-blown daily schedule that cycles through different modes and settings throughout the day or lets the Nero randomize itself with the random mode. The included controller only has one button but is very powerful and if you do not want to control the pump through a smart device don't worry, pressing or holding the button for different lengths of time can change the speed, mode, or turn the pump off or on without having to access any additional control interfaces. 

Flow modes:

• Random - Keep your tank guessing with the random flow mode. The Nero will randomly change its flow rate throughout the day creating natural water movement throughout your reef tank. 
• Pulse - Creating a standing wave can be done with the Nero in pulse mode. The pulse interval can be changed to harmonize with your aquarium, along with the max flow rate. Having a wave can cause additional stress on your aquarium, but is a great method for lifting settled detritus from hard-to-reach areas. 
• Constant - Set it and forget it! Just set the appropriate flow rate and the Nero will keep flowing at that speed until you change the mode or flow. 
• Schedule - Create a schedule that can utilize multiple different flow modes. With the myai app creating a schedule for your flow is simple and can be done in minutes!
• Feed - If you target feed, having a pump with feed mode is a requirement. Just hold the driver button for 2-5 seconds to put the Nero into feed mode for 10 minutes. 
• All-off - Turn off your pump whenever you want with full control over when it turns back on. Just hold the driver button for 6 or more seconds to turn the pump off. Touching the button again will restart the pump. 

Compatible with MXM

Neptune Systems, EcoTech Marine, and AquaIllumination have joined forces to bring MXM to life. Now all your favorite EcoTech and AI pumps and lights can be under the wireless control of Apex & Apex Fusionthe user-friendly, yet powerful, interface you already know and love. No more switching between multiple apps.
 
Magnetic Mounting

Mounting the Nero only takes a minute and with the included magnetic mounting system moving the pump around only takes a second. Given around 15 of movement, you can angle the Nero to direct flow in your aquarium where you need it. The two-part mounting system incorporates an inner magnet and an outer magnet that can couple together through glass (see model specs), and the pump then sits into the beveled inner magnet for an isolated and quiet mounting system. 
 
Included Fish Guard

The fish guard offers more safety to slow-swimming and curious inhabitants.
