Gentle waves
Size: Nero 5
We needed a second source of wave in our new 100 gallon tank. This was perfect for all the brand new fish!

Moves water!
Size: Nero 5
Great pump that really moves water. Awesome app for controlling it precisely with my other nero pumps!

Extremely Powerful with Variable Speeds
Size: Nero 5
This is quite expensive, but I was so tired of buying units that seem to lose flow after time that had no variability in flow. It has multiple speed options from 10% to 100%. I only give it 4 stars because the small fish guard is pretty flimsy, but works well enough and you can't adjust the direction of the flow, but other than that I am very happy with it even with the cost. ... show more

Broke in a couple days
Size: Nero 5
You would think that a little plastic fan that costs $200 would work longer than a couple days. But got a replacement and so far so good. Like it for its minimal profile.

Absolute love ai products you can't honoring
Size: Nero 5
I come to amazon for these as I was building out my reef tank because of the fast shipping I use an apex to control them and couldn't ask for a better setup
