AI Nero 5 water pump.

Picked up the Nero 5 today and I really like it. There is full controllability via bluetooth app. The diameter is about the same as an MP40 but it's much thinner. The mounting magnet allows for some directional aiming of the pump. The flow is different than the MP40. Mine would either splash water on the side of the tank or blow my sand bed all over the place. That effect is much less pronounced and it can be run at higher speed without causing a mess. The propeller is much larger on the Nero 5 and thus runs at a lower rpm to match the flow of the MP40. I don't mind the small amount of cord in the tank and it makes it easy to remove or replace the pump without putting your hands into the water.

Many like this pump but there are some problems with the magnet holding secure.
