Your favourite mighty submersible just got a pint-sized partner.

The Nero 3 is super powerful, super compact and super controllable, just like it's big brother the Nero 5.

Small, Powerful, and Smart!

• Max Flow - 2000 GPH (7500L)
• Ideal for Aquariums 5-60 Gallons (18-220L)
• App control with MyAI, Mobius, or MXM
• Compatible with Glass Thickness up to .5" (13mm)
• Fish Guard Included to Protect Tank Inhabitants

AquaIllumination's Nero 3 creates an adjustable broad flow that is strong but gentle at the same time. Traditional propeller designs produce a hard stream that can irritate corals where the Nero 3's innovative propeller pushes water in a wide pattern that can move foods, detritus, or other free-floating particles around without blasting corals directly.

Powerheads have many different uses around a reef tank, but the main goal is to produce enough flow to keep low-flow spots from forming in your tank and help elevate detritus to be sucked into the filtration. With BlueTooth LE technology you can set the pump up into different modes, or create a daily schedule to change the flow up throughout the day.

Easy App Control

The Nero 3 can be conveniently controlled with the free MyAI or Mobius app - your choice! By connecting your pump to the app, you unlock the ability to choose a flow mode and pump speed as well as the ability to create a full-blown daily schedule that cycles through different modes. 

No smart device? No Problem! The included controller only has one button but is very powerful. Pressing or holding the button for different lengths of time can change the speed, mode, or turn the pump off or on without having to open the app. 

Flow Modes:

Random: Keep your tank guessing with the random flow mode. The Nero 5 will randomly change its flow rate throughout the day creating natural water movement throughout your reef tank. 

Pulse: Creating a standing wave can be done with the Nero 5 in Pulse Mode. The pulse interval can be changed to harmonize with your aquarium, along with the max flow rate. Having a wave can cause additional stress on your aquarium, but is a great method for lifting settled detritus from hard to reach areas. 

Constant: Set it and forget it! Just set the appropriate flow rate and the Nero 5 will keep flowing at that speed until you change the mode or flow. 

Schedule: Create a schedule that can utilize multiple different flow modes. With the MyAi app creating a schedule for your flow is simple and can be done in minutes!

Feed: If you target feed, having a pump with feed mode is a requirement. Just hold the driver button for 2-5 seconds to put the Nero 5 into feed mode for 10 minutes. 

All-Off: Turn off your pump whenever you want with full control over when they turn back on. Just hold the driver button for 6 or more seconds to turn the pump off. Touching the button again will restart the pump. 

Compatible with MXM

Neptune Systems, EcoTech Marine, and AquaIllumination have joined forces to bring MXM to life. Now all your favorite EcoTech and AI pumps and lights can be under the wireless control of Apex & Apex Fusion—the user-friendly, yet powerful, interface you already know and love. No more switching between multiple apps.

Magnetic Mounting

Mounting the Nero 3 only takes a minute and with the included magnetic mounting system moving the pump around only takes a second. Giving around 15° of movement, you can angle the Nero to direct flow in your aquarium where you need it. The two-part mounting system incorporates an inner magnet and an outer magnet that can couple together through 1/2\" of glass or less, and the pump then sits into the beveled inner magnet for an isolated and quiet mounting system. 

Flow Comes Full Circle

• Versatile Cross-Flow Pump
• Control with MyAI, Mobius, or MXM
• Four Easy-to-Use Pump Modes
• Ideal for Aquariums 20 Gallons and Larger

Orbit pumps produce a unique type of flow.  Circling the aquarium with water movement-  like the water that moves within the ocean.  Orbit provides a cross-flow current that simulates the tidal flow experienced on ocean reefs that is an excellent mechanism for lifting excess nutrients from the bottom of the aquarium for removal by filtration.

Like ocean currents it is not just one type of flow that makes the reef thrive, but really make your aquarium thrive with flows of all types.  When combined with the directional and random flow patters of our Nero pump line a true recreation of ocean flow can be achieved- powerful, directional, systematic, and chaotic.

Simple Built-In Control

All AI devices include smart control standard. Choose from the myAI or Mobius app on any iOS or Android device to easily set up or program your AI equipment. The Orbit pumps can also be controlled via Apex Fusion by utilizing the MXM module.

Reversible Flow

A interesting feature of the Orbit pump is its ability to not just spin forward but to also spin backwards.  It provides unique opportunities for different flow patterns.

The true power of reverse mode is unlocked when combined with a second orbit pump.  While one pump is pushing the flow in a singular cross-flow direction, a second pump can run in reverse mode to help keep the flow moving across the length of the aquarium.

Included Pump Modes

Constant Speed: A constant stream of flow at the intensity of your choosing.

Pulse: Consisting of uniform high and low levels.

Random: Simulates a high-energy reef environment.

Reverse: Reverse the flow.
