Nero 5 Guard

schooncw · Feb 25, 2020

Has anyone used this, or something similar? I have lost two small wrasses, a few snails, a starfish and have just picked out my sand-sifting starfish. https://www.melevsreef.com/product/nero-5-snail-guard

And just how did you do this? Would you consider making and selling them?

This. They work very well -- My issue was snails not fish though. Clack Clack Clack

If you have a printer here is the main thread with contact info for the STL:

I don't believe he is making them anymore himself (as per his BST https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/3d-printed-fish-and-invert-guard-for-ai-nero-5.637337/post-6982180 )

But it doesn't hurt to ask. He is in Winterpeg so keeping it in Canada will help the shipping quite a bit.

I believe fishofhex is selling them too. 3d printer.

Do they reduce flow much?

Not enough to even be a thought honestly.

Hilltopreef · Mar 29, 2020

I have one on each of my two nero’s. Still a ton of flow even on my 180 gallon reef.
