Strong flow, gentle on coral
Up to 11,300 litres an hour of broad, adjustable flow that clears low-flow spots and lifts detritus — without blasting your corals.
Powerful, but not a fire hose
Traditional propeller pumps push a hard, narrow stream that can irritate anything sitting in front of them. The Nero 5's innovative propeller moves water in a wide pattern instead, so it shifts food, detritus and free-floating particles around the tank without directly blasting your corals.
- ✓Wide, gentle flow pattern that's still strong enough to keep dead spots from forming
- ✓Helps lift detritus into suspension so your filtration can clear it
- ✓Whisper-quiet and efficient in a genuinely compact body
A mode for every job
The Nero 5 does far more than run at one speed. Pick the pattern that suits your reef, or let it vary the flow for you throughout the day.
- ✓Random — varies the flow rate through the day for natural, unpredictable movement
- ✓Pulse — builds a standing wave with adjustable interval and max flow to lift settled detritus
- ✓Constant — set a speed and let it run until you change it
- ✓Schedule — chain multiple modes into a daily routine in minutes via the app
- ✓Feed — hold the button 2–5 seconds for a 10-minute feed pause; All-Off holds for 6+ seconds
Control from your phone — or one button
Bluetooth LE connects faster, reaches further and skips the whole business of setting up a wireless network. Open the myAI app, choose a mode and dial in the flow. No smartphone? The single-button controller still does it all.
- ✓myAI app for quick setup, modes and full daily schedules
- ✓One-button controller changes speed, mode or on/off by press-and-hold — no app required
- ✓Bluetooth LE for faster, longer-range connection
Magnet-mounted and livestock-safe
The two-part magnet system couples through up to 16 mm of glass, with the pump seating into a bevelled inner magnet for a quiet, isolated hold. Repositioning takes seconds, and the included Fish Guard keeps curious, slow-swimming fish clear of the propeller.
- ✓Couples through 16 mm (1/2") glass or less, with around 15° of aiming adjustment
- ✓Bevelled inner magnet isolates vibration for quiet running
- ✓Fish Guard included for added livestock safety
