I may be over looking this but is there a way - using the app settings - to have the Nero 3 shut off completely at a set time every day? The feeding setting only slows it down. If you want it completely off for say 5 hours every day, how do you do it?
Or can it be done? I have it set to 1% at night. Is that a better idea so the pump is never completely off. I can see that might be wise to always leave it on. But I’m just curious if it can be shut down.

My powerheads on a timer go off at night.

No. Unplug the connector at the controller

I was looking for a setting. An automatic setting in the app that would shut the powerhead off at night.

After thinking about it, it’s probably better to leave it on at 1% at night just to keep it from getting gunked up.

I know I’m an extremely late adopter of these things but I really do like them a lot. I found a place in Florida that has about 20 in stock so I ordered 2 more.

I was still using powerheads on a timer. Big, loud, clunky Hydor powerheads.

My tank looks bigger without all those things in my tank.

Agreed as I currently do
