Ops not an EMERGENCY

Haha 911 the nero are out of stock :)

Dont really have a good answer. The premium brands priced me out of the market for buying new a long time ago though i am more than satisfied using knockoffs.

Where’s all the power heads? Can’t find a new single Nero 3 or 5 anywhere. MP40 is up $30 when it’s already ridiculous enough to pay $400 for it.
$400 for a circulator???? Be glad you cant find one!! Good lord that price is insane!!

I just bought a premium tank and I wanted everything all premium! It’s like having a Ferrari with knock off wheels lol I just need 1 more Nero 5 to match. Believe me I feel you about these prices but it will just throw everything off lol

This is where a nice Toyota Camery really shines. It's cheap, reliable, abundant, and parts are readily available. A Ferrari is nice but I wouldn't choose one to be my sole transportation solution.

If another company could come up with a power head that doesn’t require any cords in the tank I bet ecotech would drop their prices!

I get it, I strive for perfection too. Maybe on your way to perfection toss in a daily driver to get the circulation you need.

Well, it's your bank account, not mine. Who am I to judge? If you can afford it then by all means do it.. BTW, are you looking to adopt?

I agree with the OP, if you go cheap don’t expect sustained good results. Sometimes people buy the cheap chinese knock off stuff and get decent results but seems those are few and far between! I run 2 nero 5’s and 2 icecap 4k gyres in my 120 and a nero 3 in my evo and could not be happier with all of them!

I am not suggesting that going cheap is better, just go cheap for now and buy the Ferrari when it is available. As an added bonus you will have the cheap one as a backup for when the Ferrari throws a rod through the block.

Buy jeabo and save a ton of money!
Buy jebao and spend twice the price of a nero replacing them every 3 months! The one and only jebao gyre I ever bought to use in my brute to mix salt worked for 1 batch of water then never worked again! Don’t expect a champagne tank on an old milwaukee budget!
