    Thanks for keeping me up and watching all your vids. Loving your stuff, looking to start a reef tank soon. Currently looking at budget and space :D I'll keep using your vids.
    Cheers and good to see a fellow Aussie in the youtube reef scene.

Helping set up my brother in law's Red Sea 170 over the next few weeks and I just moved into a bigger place so looking at tank size options. Cheers again and look forward to your next vids once i'm finished catching up on all the past ones.

    Um please tell me you rinsed of the acid before putting the pump back in lol. Also let the pump soak longer and the stuff will just slim over and come right off. Up to an hour depending how dirty it is.

    Hey man, have you had issues with feed mode on your Nero? Every time I put it into feed mode using the in line controller, it just stays in feed mode until I unplug it and plug it back in.

    Ok maybe vinegar could damage the wavemaker, if left for very long time, but please show us an example.. right now you have nothing backup your theory. And ive been using with no problems at all. Just feel its a bit overkill with title like that, because you heard its not good

      Rob Hein theres a decent thread of reef2reef thats gone into depth about the potential of vinegar damaging pumps. Even BRS reccommend not to use vinegar but understand many have had success using it. Id rather avoid using a certain product of there is a potential for it to have a negative impact. Heres a link to the thread:

      I have three Korelia pumps I can upload pictures of if you would like. The Vinegar gets into the seal and causes the epoxy to swell causing cracks in the housing. Hydor said this was the cause when I discussed the issue with them.

      @@firsttimereefertv1588 I don’t own one myself, but I really like the pump. I know they have new guards to address the fish deaths, but they take away from the slim clean look. I was shocked when they came out with the Nero 3 and yet didn’t change the large honeycomb pattern in back. Not to mention the magnets are weak on 1/2” glass. Not sure what AI aka EcoTech is thinking. Decisions Decisions....too bad they haven’t redesigned the backs yet.
