AI Nero 3 Guard

[dumroll]

Hi Reef2Reef Team,

I've recently purchased a second hand AI Nero 3 for a new tank that I'm in the process of setting up and wanted to know what experience people have had with these and requiring a guard of some sort to prevent livestock from getting hurt by it?

I'm located in Melbourne Australia and so have not had much luck finding somewhere that sells one so would appreciate any guidance! Buying direction from the "aquaillumination" website will cost me $60 in shipping for a $2.30 guard... Thanks in advance.

Nero 3's come with a guard. I'm assuming it's not included?

I'd ask an LFS to get a spare part for you - they are available locally in Australia.

If you have no luck with a spare and If you have access to a 3D printer you could try the following:

Nero 3 Nem Cover by Ocpondpoacher

The is an anemone protector/cover for a Nero 3 wavemaker. The cover is only 2mm thick so be sure to use 100% infill.

You can also get aftermarket guards from companies like Printed Reef, etc.

Bought it second hand so unfortunately not... Will try seeing if the LFS can source it when they place an order at some point. Unfortunately no 3D printer which is a bummer...

Tried Printed Reef but also got stuck with the crazy shipping fee. Will keep trying to find others but let me know if you know of some good sites to try.
