1x User Guide
The Nero 3 combines small size with powerful, customizable flow—making it an excellent choice for nano to mid-size aquariums.
I have two of these wavemakers in my 25gal reef tank and they are easy to setup and can be customized using the app or just with the stand-alone button. I like that I can pair them using the app together to help with current and getting all the dead spots in my tank. They are also easy to take apart for cleaning.
We have a small 20 gallon innovative marine aio, the wave maker is perfect for this tank. Love the controllability
The best power head. Completely satisfied
