Nero 7 — Circulation Pump 4000 GPH Bluetooth Glass 20mm - AquaIllumination

The AquaIllumination Nero 7 is the big brother of the Nero family, designed for large reef aquariums from 80 to 500+ gallons. With a true 4,000 GPH (15,142 LPH) output, it delivers the power needed for large systems while maintaining the compact design and wide flow pattern the Nero series is known for. Its innovative reverse propeller design produces a broad, gentle current that maintains optimal circulation without stressing corals, even in the largest aquariums.

Key Benefits

• True 4,000 GPH output in a compact form factor — only 2.42 in. (61.6 mm) of depth
• Bluetooth LE control via Mobius or myAI app — no Wi-Fi hub required
• Built-in flow modes: Constant, Pulse, Random, Schedule, Feed and All-Off
• MXM compatible for control through Neptune Apex and Apex Fusion
• Nero Guard included to protect slow-moving fish and invertebrates
• Supports glass up to 0.79 in. (20 mm) thick — ideal for large tanks with thick glass panels

Reef Tank Application

The Nero 7 is the optimal choice for large reef aquariums where high, consistent flow is essential. It eliminates dead spots in systems from 80 to 500+ gallons where smaller pumps fall short. In Random mode, it simulates a high-energy reef environment by randomly varying its flow rate. Pulse mode creates powerful waves to lift detritus in large volumes. Use the Phase feature with other Nero pumps to create dynamic, multidirectional water movement. Feed mode pauses the pump for 10 minutes for target feeding — just hold the controller button for 2 to 5 seconds.

Installation and Mounting

The magnetic mounting system installs in under a minute and supports glass up to 0.79 in. (20 mm) thick — compatible with thick-glass aquariums like Red Sea Reefer XL and XXL series. The pump angle adjusts 15° in all directions to direct flow exactly where your tank needs it. The integrated single-button controller allows quick speed adjustments without a smartphone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose the Nero 5 or Nero 7 for a 120-gallon reef tank?

For a 120-gallon tank, the Nero 7 at 4,000 GPH is recommended. The Nero 5 at 3,000 GPH suits tanks up to 100+ gallons, but the Nero 7 provides better coverage for larger volumes, especially with SPS corals.

Is the Nero 7 compatible with Red Sea Reefer XL and XXL aquariums?

Yes. The Nero 7 supports glass up to 0.79 in. (20 mm) thick, making it compatible with Red Sea Reefer thick-glass aquariums. It is also MXM compatible for control through Neptune Apex.

Can you combine a Nero 7 with a Nero 5 in the same tank?

Yes. The Mobius app supports the Phase feature which synchronizes or alternates flow between all Nero pumps regardless of model. A Nero 7 and Nero 5 in opposition create excellent water movement in large aquariums.
