    Re: Twinstar

    So... What's the conclusion? I'm rescaping and wondering if it will help to slow down my algae growing, I just can't seem to balance out the 60P...

    Starting to wonder what's the technology behind it.

    Microbubbles to inhibit algae growth. Or maybe some proton/neutron/electron rearrangement to inhibit algae growth.

    To me, it works as well as Phiten Products.

    Re: Twinstar

    Which is why balancing out through finding out plant mass, water parameters, dosing and lights is still the best alternative. If that doesnt work, ny next bet is using the algaexit. Hahah. Now i have stocked up bluexit and algaexit for the next battle. For now, all is at peace.

    Here is a pic of my last set up with it installed, can't see clearly, but u can make out patches of green on it.



    Anyways I uninstalled it after a couple of months cause it suddenly stopped releasing the bubbles. If Mr muar_chee would like I can give it to you to have a go at it to experience it first hand. =) Alternatively, I seen LFS with twinstar installed with the same issue as well.

    Don't hope to see unnecessary flaming in this awesome forum. If I offended Mr Muar_chee with my above comment Mods please remove it. Mr Muar_chee, sorry if I offended you in anyway, maybe you are the distributor of twinstar and you got offended by my bad review of it. I honestly can't provide upload pic of it, please forgive me=(
