Nano is the best
Size: Nero 3
I love this nano. It moves water at the speed and cycle I want. It is very low noise, east to set up and use, good quality. I’ve had mine now for about 3 months and it has done great and keeps on moving water. Great product. Hooked it and AI light to the AI app and they are both on the same system. Full control.

Great!
Size: Nero 3
Easy to use through the app, if you understand how phone apps work. Bought two, its nice having the ability to have a master setting when running the pumps.

Works great when it works
Size: Nero 3
Update: The new one only lasted a week before it died. Exact same problem as the first one where it gave me an error saying its jammed. I pulled it apart and cleaned it and there was nothing there for it to be caught up on. I did a soft reset and it didn't work. I did a hard reset and it didn't work. I made sure it had all its firmware updates and still nothing. I was very disappointed in this product. When it was working for the short time, it was a great pump and it looked good in the tank with the low profile. But I can't trust this product any longer. Original: Bought this and installed it in my cichlid tank. Worked great for about 3 weeks and just stopped. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and then noticed a lot of people in the reviews were having the same problem. This is very poor quality control from a company that should know better. Luckily I was still within my exchange window and returned it for another. So far the new one is working great, but I have my doubts on how long it will last.

Quiet and wonderfully programmable
Size: Nero 3
I already had the 15 gallon tank and 12” blade lights from AI, great to add the pumps. Just added this Nero 3 as my only powerhead after the death of my forth generic jebao, and this is amazing in dispersion of flow and the programming in Möbius allows gentle flow time, random flow time, and pulse time and each has min and max and timing. I also swapped in an Axis 20 return. Both my max is 65%. Coral looks very happy!

Great wavemaker. Read my review, won't regret.
Size: Nero 3
Holy crap the price went up on amazon. Go to BRS to avoid amazons price and pay $164 instead. Product is great. Had it for few months. no problems. Just lightly clean it with warm water and soft brush every so often and you'll be good. Disappointed in you amazon. Hate going to BRS(Marine Depot was so much better)

Buy it you won't regret it!
Size: Nero 3
Best wavemaker for any saltwater aquarium. SUPPER silent. Worth the money. It's small and has a low profile. Easy to install and love the adjustability. More power than you will ever need. Would buy again!

Excellent
Size: Nero 3
I bought this to replace a cheap pump that I thought was worth a try. This is the one I should have bought from the beginning. The flow is great. It is extremely quiet. And it is controllable via the app. I use Mobius and the options are all there to use. I understand that the AI app is also an option. Total time from receipt to complete installation was under 10 minutes.
