Nero 3 Flow

[Ian Baxter]

So I have a 65g that is 36L, 24W, and 18H. I have two Nero 3 power heads and it's going to be a mixed reef. Any suggestions on the settings and placement? I'm playing with the app and some settings but haven't mastered it. I understand that it also depends tank to tank, but any advice would help.

Trial and error is how I do it because as you stated each tank is different.

random flow. you can pick what % depending on if you need more or less

Probably need to mount them on left and right side glass facing each other. Set to random around 50% and see how things are going. Imo you probably should have picked up the nero5’s as thats a wide tank.

I have a single nero3 in a WB 20 set at 45% blowing from the back wall to the front.

This is what I do. Set up one then you make the other the opposite

I initially bought them for my 32 Biocube but now I’m upgrading and it’s what I have. I also have a Jecod SCP 70 gyre, but I’m not a huge fan of the gyres. I feel they get clogged easier.

This is great. Thanks!

 

[ryanjohn1]

This is great. Thanks!

Have you figured out how to have one be parent and one the child. I had trouble figuring it out.

Yeah. On the second pump there is a box you select called Child. Drag it over and set it for the whole time. It will then copy the “parent” one.

When I get home, I can take some screen shots.

Yes but you have to change the one slide to 180 degrees so they are opposite

 

[ryanjohn1]

The phase slider @180

That’s what I couldn’t figure out.

Yeah it got me too.

I have a gyre on my back glass at the top and it runs just fine. I clean it every 3 months or so no issues. Its a red sea btw.

So you have one on the back glass in the middle and two smaller ones on the sides?

Just one on the right side back panel.
