Nice tank and scape.... Clean and neat!
I used to use the height extenders but found them too flimsy when I used full power. They also run hot, so I used back the acrylic stands. I am on level 3 and the height of the fish tank is around 50cm depth, but I have another older version Chihiros LED at power level 1. So 2 sets for better spread. Chihiros A series are really good LEDs, not sure why people favor Twinstar and ADA Aquasky.
Yah the height extender is really flimsy..too bad this series dosent comes with the acrylic stand..so got no choice got to just adjust the height..actually i tot of getting the hanging kit..or DIY the hanging kit..or switch to twinstar the hanging ones..but so far the chihiros works well..plants happy fishes happy iam happy...hahahah mayb if got bujet then il switch to twinstar with hanging kit.Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
This full spectrum thingy has been debated since I don't know when. Some people favor red lights is better for plants some say no difference as plants can utilize all spectrum of lights. I am not scientist so I don't really know and care. I just need a light which can support good plant growth with lower power, adjustable with dimmer, can use with height extender or acrylic stand and finally runs at no heat for both LED and power adapter. So the Chihiros fits the bill perfectly. Twinstar is just a high light. And any high light is suitable for red plants, not just Twinstar. ADA aquasky is not full spectrum LED but it can also bring out super red in plants. There was a time I wanted to move to Twinstar, but heard from many users that the power supply runs super hot and the heat from the LED doesn't disperse well as there is no aluminium fins. So that indirectly heats up the water.
Unless of course Lawrence or Ryan brings in the Twinstar E & S series dimmer, then maybe will switch.
It feels as if Twinstar heavily photoshop their Facebook demo tanks and product images to entice users to buy them. Because those tanks at EOA look nothing like those on Facebook in terms of coloration.

I used it before but it started leaking at the connectors. I find it difficult to clean as it clogs up frequently.
With inline diffuser, CO2 would get better mixing before coming out to the outflow, and It would reach to plants better then normal diffuser.
