Is the outside magnet sealed or would it be exposed to water? I would be concerned of raised levels of iron, cobalt, nickel and who knows what else if it is not sealed. I vacuum sealed my H2Pro magnets to place the outside magnet in my overflows.Did any of you place the dry side underwater long term?
Heres the official answer from them:
Thank you for contacting AquaIllumination. The outside magnet on all Nero models was not designed to be submerged in the aquarium. That said, we have had several users report they are using the outside magnet submerged in the aquarium without issue. Obviously, we are unable to guarantee this will work long term without issue but it is unlikely that you would experience any problems.
That's an interesting idea. How was this accomplished?Is the outside magnet sealed or would it be exposed to water? I would be concerned of raised levels of iron, cobalt, nickel and who knows what else if it is not sealed. I vacuum sealed my H2Pro magnets to place the outside magnet in my overflows.
I have my Nero 3 outside magnets under freshwater because the CADE tanks have a built in ATO on the back. Prior to that I had them in AIO chambers on my waterbox peninsula 15. It's been a year and so far so good.
I think as long as you are inspecting them, it's not much of an issue. I pull my Neros every 1-2 months for cleaning anyway so I would likely catch an issue.
The food saver bag idea is a great idea though. I'll have to see if I can find access to one. I'm all about redundant safety measures.
Just noticed your bottom line re the tank, so I guess mine is the shallower version. Regards .What model Cade tank do you have? I am running a Reef S2/F 600. and am looking at the Nero pumps 3 or 5 ?? which one would you recommend.
