With these three main building blocks that we put into all our lights, efficient electronics, proper cooling, and amazing optics paired with proper color temperature of LEDs make for products that often times consume half the power of the competitors’ lights while still achieving similar or greater par values in your tank.
#Aqua illuminations nano software
Parametric optical design software is employed to design all our lenses, with this AI is has produced over 90% efficient lenses that insure the maximum amount of light is captured and dispersed evenly into your tank. Using electronic design automation software AI is able to produce electronics that not only are very efficient but also runs the LEDs properly. LEDs that are cooled properly are dramatically more efficient. The latest in technology is implemented in the design of all the parts of our products, using computational fluid dynamics software mated with extensive testing of real life prototypes we ensure the proper cooling for our LEDs from in house designed heat sinks. The hobby in general is still learning what to do with all these newfound smart features of our controllable aquarium devices, but the AI Nero 3 really nails the sweet spot of value and performance for creating optimal water flow in the smallest of reef aquariums.All LEDs employed by AI are run lower and cooler than the manufacturers suggested maximums to get a longer and more efficient life from the LEDs.
It consumes a maximum of 95 watts and uses 80 degree lenses. AI offers different mounting options including a tank mount and suspension kit as well. It will cover a 24' x 24' area of tank space and you can connect multiple fixtures using the EXT rail system for larger aquariums. Individually change each color for the ultimate in control. With the swipe of your finger, you can set the Nano to the levels your corals prefer. Touch Control Controlling settings couldn't be easier. In all the important ways, the AI Nero 3 eliminates the previous need to compromise between choosing a weak or cheap powerhead, or a very pricey one. The fixture is only 12' long and just over 5' wide. The AI Nano is the world's smallest reef-capable LED fixture, producing the coral growth and shimmer serious aquarists demand. The effect of having a programmed period of very high flow automatically keeps the tank cleaner and healthier, reducing nutrient buildup and algae growth with no extra action required on our part. This scheduled ‘storm mode’ allows the extra water flow to flush out waste from the rocks and bottom so that they can be more completely processed by the filtration. Throughout all of our tanks one of the most useful scheduled program modes we’ve really come to appreciate with controllable pumps is the ability to have very strong flow in the middle of the night when the polyps are closed.
Until you’ve tried it you might not place much value on having alternating periods of high flow to really wash out the whole tank and make those polyps flutter, periods of low flow to allow LPS polyps to expand to their fullest, and oscillating waves that create a hypnotizing sway to the entire display.

#Aqua illuminations nano full
The same could be said about full control of LED lights as well and while it may not be nearly as noticeable as having the light spectrum shift and adjust throughout the day, having scheduled periods of varying flow is both fun and beneficial. To be fair, most small and nano reef aquarium don’t really need full wireless and programming capabilities, but these two features really enable reefers to fine tune the physical environment of their smaller reef tanks. Once the Nero 3 pump is added to the myAI app, the drag and drop interface makes it incredibly easy to program the different water flow modes described above in order to benefit from a variability of water movement in the aquarium.
#Aqua illuminations nano Bluetooth
The AI Nero 5 was one of the first controllable aquarium devices to use Bluetooth LE, making the initial setup and connection to the app nearly instantaneous with no need to go through a complicated setup process, something many controllable devices still struggle with. In this regard the myAI app used to control and program the AI Nero 3 has made great strides in being a very useful aspect of using this nano powerhead. More than ever before, it’s important for companies to not only design and engineer the best hardware, but also consider and really develop the software so it’s as user friendly and practical as possible.
For about the price of one decent coral colony the AI Nero 3 does everything that larger propeller pumps can do but its small size practically disappears inside the aquarium and even includes an inline hardware controller for quick access to pump speed and water flow modes.
