New tank is coming on Saturday, it’ll be a big jump from my 24g aio. Figured I’d start my build thread even though I’ve been collecting equipment for over a year because of a failed 93 cube rebuild. The plan is a bare bottom mixed reef with about 75+/-lbs of live rock. I’ll eventually move the...
Hi all - traded my old tank for a Nero 5 which is a bit much for my current tank.
Looking to sell it for $165 shipped, and/or trade it for an MP10 (I'll add $$)
Aquascape with caribsea life rock 32 lbs
Nature’s Ocean Soma Pink Live Sand
Hydor DC 750gpm return pump
Aquamaxx FC80 skimmer
200 w heater with controller
Nero 5 powerhead
Radion XR15 pro light
Hydrofill TI ATO controller
Hydrofill TI ATO pump
4 sticks of biolux

So I am looking at several flow options for my 180G and need some input. I am doing mostly LPS Zoas and maybe a one or two encrusting and/or chalices.
First option is two AI Nero 5s

I like them because of the small...

Hello R2R community!
I've been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for about 10 years. I started with a 46 gallon bow front which I upgraded to my current 75 gallon about 5 years ago. Build thread here. It's been a great adventure with ups and downs. I got a steal of a deal on the 75. It's old...
I just upgraded power heads and got a Nero 5. I set it on pulse mode and was wondering if it’s too much flow for my elegance coral on the sand bed? I have a video attached. Thanks!
Hi y’all.
I have been doing tons of research and can’t pick between the tunze, vortech or ai for my powerheads. I had decided very early to use the mp40 but now that I can’t find it anywhere along with the g5 lights I have begun to rethink things for my 120(4x2x2).
what u know so far:
1. Nero5...
Hello everyone. I’m new to reefing and was curious about my Nero 5. I’m sure it’s probably overkill for my 20 gallon cube nano but purchase has been made and there’s no going back lol. What kind of flow rate should I be targeting for? I plan on keeping a mixed reef. I’m sure there’s plenty to...
I have 4 Nero 5’s for sale.
These are currently running in my tank and I will be taking them out on Tuesday the 26th and can likely ship that day. I will reset them and clean them before sending them out. I have all of the original boxes and documentation.
Price is $165 each
Buy 2 and price is...
Hi, I'm new to reefing and I'm looking for some help with what to do for a battery backup. I have waterbox marine 60.2 running a nero 5. I live in new england so power outages happen during every season of the year. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with different battery backups for...
Selling 2 new never seen water nero style Jeabo slw-20m that's the new wifi version. Bought them to use on a build but then changed my mind. Asking $80.00 each shipped or 150.00 for both shipped.
The Nero 5 was used for less than 2 weeks. Works perfectly, completely cleaned before shipping to you, ready for addition to the myAI app. Comes with original packaging.
Jebao SLW-10 was used for about 4 months, also works perfectly and will be completely cleaned before shipping. Does not come...
I have for sale 2 Aqua Illumination Nero 5's for $185 each shipped. I just cleaned them in some citric acid and boxed them up. They were purchased from BRS in Feb 2019 and put into service in May 2019. They were used from May 2019 until Jan 2020. So about 8 months. I never had any problems with...
What do guys think? I’m upgrading to a Waterbox 20G Cube and I am deciding on whether should I get the Nero 5 or just get the Jebao SLW20? They look similar but does having the “Legit” in make a difference? Any input is appreciated!
I am making a guard for the nero much like I did for the ecotech products (Check out the ones I sell, link below). The question I have for anyone who uses these pumps is how much do you value the small amount of angle adjustment that it has? If a anemone guard meant that the angle could not be...
I’ve recently purchased a Waterbox 100.3 (36x24x24) and am considering what to use for water circulation.
Currently I’m considering:
1 x mp40
1 x Nero 5
2 x maxspect gyre xf330 (overkill?)
I’d be interested to hear thoughts and what others are using on their tanks of this size.
Selling 4X Nero 5 pumps.
They're all like-new, crazy clean, and very quiet (no one pump is louder than any other). Two of the pumps were purchased new in February (I can provide documentation if requested), whereas the other two were purchased locally (estimated 6-9 months total use to date)...
Thought I’d document my progress by starting this thread for all to enjoy. I’ll try and post a photo every week.
First time reefing after years of tropical fish, taking it slow so bear with me.
I haven't quite made my mind up on this aquascape, and I wanted to see if anyone had any advice/constructive criticism before the new tank gets wet. This is my first time using base rock instead of live rock, so I know it isn't perfect.
Hi all. Good day to you. Would like to seek advice on power head setting. I have a 3 side view tank that is 220gallon tank with dimension 7x2x2 and currently running on 2 Neptune WAV + 2 Nero 5. Previously i was running 2WAV + 1Nero 5 and it seems that my tank does not have enough flow. The...
