Aqua Illumination Aqua Illumination Nero 7 Submersible Pump 4000GPH

Aqua Illumination's Nero 7 pump offers an adjustable, wide - spread water flow that combines strength with gentleness. Unlike traditional propeller designs that create a harsh water stream which may harm corals, the Nero 7's unique propeller distributes water in a broad pattern. This pattern effectively moves food, detritus, and other floating particles around the tank without directly hitting the corals. Powerheads are essential in a reef tank. Their primary function is to generate sufficient water flow, preventing the formation of low - flow areas and helping to lift detritus into the filtration system. With Bluetooth LE technology, you can easily customize the pump's operation. You can select from different modes or set a daily schedule to vary the water flow throughout the day. This feature gives you full control over your tank's water movement.

Using the Aqua Illumination Nero 7 pump is easy. First, submerge the pump in your reef tank at an appropriate location. Make sure it's firmly placed to avoid any movement. Then, connect it to a power source. You can use the Bluetooth LE technology on your smartphone or a compatible device to pair with the pump. Once paired, you can explore different modes like random flow or wave - like patterns. You can also set a daily schedule according to your tank's needs. For example, you might want stronger flow during the day when the corals are feeding and weaker flow at night. When it comes to maintenance, check the pump regularly for any debris that might clog the propeller. If you notice reduced water flow, it could be a sign of clogging. To clean it, simply turn off the pump, remove it from the tank, and gently clean the propeller with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the pump. Also, ensure that the Bluetooth connection is stable. If you have any issues, try resetting the connection or checking the device's settings. With proper use and maintenance, your Nero 7 pump will keep your reef tank in great condition.
