WOW!!! Nice looking tank! Man I love them AI's!!! Stay tuned for a lot more forthcoming details about the whole ecosystem of AI LED lighting products.
#Aqua illuminations nano upgrade#
Finally, existing owners of Sol LEDs will be able to upgrade their fixtures to the same undercarriage of new LEDs, lenses and wifi module for an undetermined price. AquaIllumination has yet to firm up a name for the new LED light and a contest will be held in the future to come up with a real name for it. You read that right, the newest and most capable light AI has ever made will be cheaper than its predecessor, the AI Sol, which will drop to $399 and the AI Nano will also drop down to $299. The AI Sol “Phoenix” consumes about 75 watts of power and it will be available sometime in the fall for $499. AI’s newest LED light will be controlled by a separate black-box controller which will have a web interface, and it will be able to control up to 30, individually addressable wireless AI LED lights. The new AI LED light is thinner than the old Sol, it uses the same Cree XM-L and dual blue color LED cluster as the AI Nano and it is wirelessly controlled. Here is what I know about the new unit as of now. Here is a list of the current members as of. I also wanted to say that I am NOT affiliated with Aqua Illuminations. PICS are always welcome and encouraged!!! I just wanted to through this out there for anyone that may have any Aqua Illumination leds or would just want to chime in about them. 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.I have seen some other clubs out there and after doing some digging I didnt see any clubs for AI LEDS. 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 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.

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.

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.
#Aqua illuminations nano software#
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.
