AI NERO 5 PUMP VS. HYGGER WAVEMAKER! Which Aquarium Wave Pump Is Worth Your Money!

[@richardbajamundi4945]

Great review! On the hunt for new wavemakers. On the fence for either a Mp40/ Nero7s - will look into the Hygger. Thanks!

[@kerrybuck8429]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video !! Very insightful!

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching I'm glad it was helpful.

[@carlheller6648]

I'm loving hygger products lately.

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

Right they are pretty good!

[@JeepinReefer406]

You got the new style Hyggers! They did away with the annoying pegs and offset holes on the base. And i like the small amount of tilt you get now. I may have to pick up a couple new ones.

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

Yes and the size is great too, definitely check them out for sure! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@markroman6116]

Thanks so much for such a detailed review 👌 that was a huge help

[@reeftank1234]

A separate topic - rock cement. Have you tried Marco vs. AquaForest vs. STIX?

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

Great topic, this one I have not tried yet.

[@esmusssosein5033]

Hi, which wave maker is the most effective for mixing nutrition? I'm asking because it's crucial to find the best way to blend fertilizer into water without increasing the pH value.

[@skimskim]

great review. thank man!

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video glad it was helpful.

I did read reviews on the Nero at bulk. seems to be short lifespan on those.

[@richardbajamundi4945]

Ive been using the Nero3s for 3 years running now.

[@marieclark7019]

I have no idea how to put mine together,I bought for 400 litre,no instructions,no controller,just a base and double water pump ,nothing more

[@nick_timberreef]

Dang this should of been the hyger ECO sine wave 3400GPH VS nero 5

[@BrandonMatthewHB]

Nero5 is hands down the better pump.

[@jamesbroderick3660]

I can’t seem to find the video showing how to set up the Hygger wave maker

I have a 90 gallon tank which one should I go with for each brand? Thanks. and why does nero call theirs a powerhead is there a difference? I see on amazon the 2600 is more money than the 3400 for hygger, wonder why that is since the 3400 is rated for tanks 75-200 and the 2600 is only up to 50.

[@cookie640]

Hi can I ask a question I have a 30 gallon square tank. I will be adding corals, which wave maker would you recommend and would 1 be enough for my tank.

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

The Hygger is definitely the more affordable, and the one in the video is recommended 26g-55g so it would push plenty for 30g tank. There is a smaller Hygger thats recommended up to 25g. One may work, What are the tank dimensions?

[@Francis.Rivers]

I have a 75G softie tank. Is one enough?

[@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813]

Someone on another channel says this hygger would need more flow for a 75 gallon reef tank....I'm looking into a wave maker for my 75 gallon soft and LPS reef also ...but there is a stronger wave maker from hygger ...I don't know if it's to much flow though for a 75 gallon ....I hear its pretty strong though ..to strong..not sure though yet...I ordered it and should be getting it today...I can let u know ..

[@lanemaya6658]

What would you recommend for a 16b gallon BNioCube?

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

Take a look at the smaller Hygger Wavemaker it's more affordable and will work great. Follow the link in the description.

[@BH0t8498]

Get the 1600 hygger wave. You can adjust the intensity also. I like that it also has a PULSE you can program. So not to overwhelm the cube

[@reeftank1234]

Hygger of Jebao? My NERO 5 failed after

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

I really enjoy the Hygger. My Nero 3 went out on me I need to see how to get that replaced or I may just get another Hygger back there.

[@leftandrightarewrong3957]

Thanks. Have you tried Jebao?

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

@@leftandrightarewrong3957 I had a Jebao pump years ago. But I haven't tried any of their recent pumps. I like the build quality of the Hygger controller. Jebao SLW-20 looks pretty good as well. and it looks similar to the Nero's. Here is a Amazon link to it. amzn.to/3R9EqZu. (paid link)

[@reeftank1234]

Noted, thanks. I have AI lights so I like the all-in-one smart phone controls. But, I don't like the AI price if the useful life is

[@DZ-cm5xw]

Jebao SLW is closer to Nero

[@KentuckyReef]

The Nero is also dead simple to take apart to clean!

[@TheCoralReefTalk]

Yes 100% agree. It's very easy to clean!

[@TGC1775]

Both can destroy your coral and kill your fish though.

[@ReefingwithO]

So can any other powerhead

[@BH0t8498]

I have 4 Hyggers and LOVE them. Super quiet and easy to use and see the operation right in the controller. I went with these for the lower price and a recommendation. I have two in my tank and always keep two clean and ready. Easy to just switch them out as I pull to clean them. Never had any problems. They come apart easy also to clean.

[@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813]

​@@BH0t8498what size tank do you have ? I ordered 2 of the ( Model HG 042) for a 75 gallon reef soft and LPS coral tank....I'm wondering if it's gonna be way to much flow as it claims it's for a 75-200 gallon tank...I have them coming today ..

[@BH0t8498]

I have my HYGGERS in a smaller 32 biocube. I use 2 and have two extras that I always keep clean and just swap them out. They are simple to unplug and replug once a month with little downtime. I have both the 2600 & 1600. You can adjust the intensity on both through the programming codes. If it’s the same programming you should be able to adjust them. I like that I can TURN UP the flow during a cleaning to stir up everything and then return to my basic settings afterwards. The wave makers are small enough you could use in a sump to stir up if needed as well​@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813
