The Aqua Illumination Nero series are app-controlled DC powerheads; the Nero 5 shown here is the larger, popular model delivering up to 3,000 GPH (11,356 L/h) with a broad, gentle propeller flow ideal for tanks of about 40-100 gallons. Bluetooth LE control via the MyAI or Mobius apps offers random, pulse, constant, schedule, and feed modes, with MXM module support for Apex integration. A two-part magnetic mount couples through glass up to 0.63" (16 mm) thick and the kit includes a FishGuard.

Asked before checkout
The questions our support inbox actually gets.
Does it ship quickly?+
Orders placed before 2 PM ET on a business day leave the same day. Tracking is emailed the moment the label prints.
What if it's the wrong fit for my tank?+
Return it. 30 days, no restocking fee, refund to the original payment method. Better: tell us your tank first and we'll spec the system for free — half of all returns are sizing problems.
Who handles the warranty?+
We do. Everything carries the manufacturer's warranty and we run the claim for you — one email to us instead of a ticket queue.
How does the bundle discount work?+
Add items in the bundle builder: 2+ items saves 5%, 3+ saves 8%, 4+ saves 12%, and 5+ saves 15% off the whole system, applied at checkout.
