A Little Blue Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I need one. It would replace one of KPS pumps for even more flow. 85X turnaround at the moment but I NEED MORE! Lol Sign me UP. Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Loved to try one out myself and see what it can really do. Quote Link to comment
AvaS Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I would love to pick up one of these one day! Quote Link to comment
pieceofreef Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I could use one :) I love that you can "just control it" and you don't need all kinds of extra gadgets like with the MP10. Quote Link to comment
jacknificient Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Would make a perfect match with my 2 Prime HD in my shallow reef 😃 Quote Link to comment
FSTanks Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 This pump looks great. Quote Link to comment
tofer Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Seems like a really cool pump would love to own one . Quote Link to comment
Jono Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I love new gadgets, would be cool having my pump and lights all controllable from an app. Quote Link to comment
Cyndi Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I got the chance to see it at MACNA and absolutely love it! Would love to see how it does in my nano. Quote Link to comment
LogicalReefs Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Love to check out the pump with my nano tank. Been really interested in trying this pump out. Had a MP10 but didn’t quite like it. Maybe this is better? Quote Link to comment
Lognor Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I have a couple of hydor powerheads and have been thinking about getting their add on wavemaker, but this would be a really cool option as well. Quote Link to comment
12scanlon Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Dang this thing can pump out some water!! I Would really love to try this. I am planning on upgrading my tank soon, and being able to go all the way up to 3,000 gph is wicked. Quote Link to comment
Krish87 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This is a fantastic little toy! The controls and feature set are really by far the best I've seen, and its seamless integration with the MyAI app makes it golden. I got a surprise package after MACNA and boy I was so excited!!! And yes, I use it on my BioCube 16, and I definitely saw an improvement in my corals. Also, the amount of detritus that used to get collected at certain dead-spots is now relatively way lesser than before. 1 Quote Link to comment

The price is not too bad considering those things. Saw reefbuilders was putting these on his home tank. Looking into one maybe later on down the road once I get a bigger tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
pieceofreef Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 What's the smallest tank you would use this pump in? (mixed reef with sand substrate) I'm considering to put this in a 25g lagoon instead of a MP10 or 1K gyre. Quote Link to comment
ReefGoat Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 It appears that it can be tuned down. So I would think that you could put it in as small of a tank as you'd like if you absolutely just had to have this powerhead. But in a smaller tank. There are probably much better choices money wise you could make. I mean hell even a Vortech is cheaper and I never thought i'd say that LOL. Quote Link to comment
FSTanks Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I emailed AI asking about min flow numbers and tank sizes. They said they didn't have specific flow numbers but that they were running one in a 20 gallon without issues. Sounds like it should be pretty flexible. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I am waiting for him to post the video on his tank with these running. I have the same cube and now I'm considering a pair of Nero 5s over a pair of MP10s. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Are the winners of these contests ever announced? 1 Quote Link to comment

I just like the neros cause they are smaller I think and can be controlled with the app without having to buy the reeflink. 2 hours ago, HarryPotter said: Are the winners of these contests ever announced?

Andreww Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Lol what’s funny about giveaways and such, people try to give their reasons on why the sponsor should pick them and how great of a benefit it’ll be for their tank. Reminds me of a cat rubbing against a leg just to get some attention or a treat . If these giveaways are real then signing up with a name should be enough to pick a winner. Heck , I can use one of these in my sump cuz there’s no way I’m putting that ugly wire in the display. And yes, we can all rejoice, a Vortech is cheaper than this lol Rant /commentary is over. ✌🏻 1 Quote Link to comment
