Nero Submersible Pump
Aqua Illumination's magnetic wavemaker, in three sizes. The Nero is a wavemaker (a pump that moves water around the tank for circulation) that holds to the glass with a magnet mount. It comes in Nero 3, Nero 5 and Nero 7. Each has an onboard single-button controller and can also be set up from the free myAI or Mobius app, or run from a Neptune Systems Apex through an MXM module (a Neptune add-on, sold separately).
Key features
- Flow modes: Random, Pulse, Constant, Schedule, Feed and All-Off.
- Feed mode: hold the button for 2 to 5 seconds to put the pump into feed mode for 10 minutes.

- Fish guard included over the intake.
