The AI Nero 3 Submersible Pump is the entry point to AquaIllumination's Nero circulation pump line, using an innovative propeller design that pushes a wide, adjustable flow pattern instead of a hard direct stream — strong enough to lift detritus, gentle enough not to blast corals directly. Best for: 5-60 gallon tanks Max glass thickness: 0.5in (13mm) Flow rate: up to 2,000 GPH (7,570 lph) Power: variable, 20W max Dimensions (wetside): 1.4in x 2.25in Mount: two-part magnetic system (inner + outer magnet) with about 15° of angle adjustment; magnet couples through up to 0.5in of glass Flow modes: Random, Pulse, Constant, Schedule, Feed (10-minute target-feed pause), and All-Off, all set via the onboard driver button or the app Control: myAI® or Mobius app (iOS/Android); integrates with Neptune Apex via the MXM module and Neptune Fusion Cord length: ~9ft Warranty: 1-year Includes: Nero 3 pump, fish guard, controller, magnetic mounting system, power supply, user guide.Nero pumps are built to be paired with AI Orbit pumps for a more complete flow profile — Orbit's cross-flow current lifts detritus off the substrate while Nero's directional and random flow patterns handle general circulation, together mimicking the mix of flow types found on a natural reef.Compatible replacement parts: propellers and mounting magnets for the Nero 3.
