twinstar

Hello everyone. I found a tutorial on DIY steriliser and was wondering if there is any alternative to the lantern battery (it’s rare here) other than using an AC/DC adaptor? I’m quite scared of getting electric shock. Will dry charge motorcycle battery work as a safer alternative? Cheers

Hi all, So its been a while since I did my last journal and I sucked at keeping it updated. Well I thought i'd have another go ;) I recently (read finally) moved the 200l AquaOak home with me after moving in with my partner some time ago. My partner wasnt keen on fish to begin with, but I won...

Hi everyone, long time no see. I'm setting up my ADA 60f again for my dwarf puffers, this time it will be a blackwater with some easy plants and no CO2. I was wondering how dim I should have my Twinstar 600e, I'm looking to grow Vallisneria nana, Cryptocoryne wendtii and Helanthium tenellum...

Hi all, I'm looking at lighting options at the moment for my 200l aquaoak (99.5 (W) x 40 (D) x 50 (H) cm) and am thinking about picking up a second hand Twinstar 900S. I have a couple of questions: 1. Is a 900S overkill for a no co2 system? I'm probably looking at running co2 at a later date...

I have a question. Can anyone recommend a programable dimmer that works with the Twinstar 1200SA? Or do you know if a Way2top S2 Pro dimmer will work with it? I need dimming capability and also ramp up/down as well. I have a Way2top S2 Pro dimmer that works very well with my 24" Twinstar but I...

Hi all, decided to register as I read the forum quite often during my Googling and general research for the tank I'm putting together.. Anyway I have the Twinstar 300CC, and I'm trying to get a dimmer / controller to connect and work with it correctly.. We have a Fluval Chi already running...

For my birthday I was lucky enough to receive an ADA 60f and the kit to go along with it. I'll be putting a lot of my savings into this project too. I've been waiting quite a while to set this up, but I had to get my trial exams out the way before I could get going. I made a visit to Aquarium...

I am working on a high tech heavily planted tank. I am trying to decide what light to go with. I have narrowed it down to the twinstar s series. But due to my location my options are the 600 SA or the 600 SP. I am wondering does the 600 SA adjust in height? Or just in length. If the 600 SA does...

So my learning curve continues a year in and i'm re-scaping my main tank. I'm starting to find out what i do and don't like and learned a lot about composition from my smaller 45P tank which i love and looking back at how this tank started out. Made a lot of mistakes along the way but it's all...

I have an 800 mm tank very well planted. The light I am currently using is an Aquael LEDDY Slim 80 - 100 cm. What I would like is a Twinstar as they are great looking and the elevated position gives better coverage over the tank. The problem Twinstar do not make one for my size of the tank it is...

Hi Thinking about upgrading my chihiros rgb and getting a twinstar s series. Before I go spend a load on a new light just wanted to hear people's feed back who already have this light. Is the colour rendition really as good as the videos and pics show? How is the spread? That's the main issue...

Im likely to buy the 45cm wide Dennerle Aquascaper as my first planted. It will be in the lounge, so dimming may be important sometimes if someone is sitting nearby (I presume). At the moment I may either go for the Twinstar 450e or the Chihiros Aquasky 45cm Double. If I go for the...

Can anyone with a similar Twinstar light check and see if it's just mine that has weird spacing of the LED's as shown on the right on the unit below or a common occurance Why it's like that I have no idea and see no reason why it shouldn't be a uniform and symmetrical layout obviously... Its...

After starting my first tank (Superfish Home 60) I found that I was limited more than I first realised I would be due to the all in one nature of the tank. Being a bit naive I thought I'd be able to achieve what I had pictured in my head but soon realised that without making fundamental changes...

Hi there, long Time no see but I can't leave this Beautiful hobby. I'm actually collecting stuff and thinking about the hardscape of my 2018 tank. Specs- Ada 60p Twinstar 600 led Jbl e901 Inline CO2 2kg Tropica soil powder Chihiros doctor v4 Inox pipes Hardscape: River Wood River Gravel and...

Hi, I have just purchased an ADA 90f (L90cm, W30cm, D20cm) tank and needed some advice on whether to go for the new Twinstar 600SP or 900SP to hang above the tank. I am planning on getting medium difficulty plants from Tropica, however wasn't sure if the 600SP would offer the coverage for the...

Hi all, so i have a 200L tank from a well known and recognised aquatic retailer. I purchased with it the Fluval Fresh Plant 2.0 LED, around 90CM. Looking through the forums here and i am thinking that this will not be sufficient and therefore looking at adding either a Chihiros RGB-60 as it is...

Does anyone have any experience of using one? A good addition, or an unnecessary expense?

Afternoon all, now that Asian Dreams has been taken down it is time to start a new journal for the new scape. This will take a couple of weeks to complete set up as im very short on time with work and i still need to organise plants. Hardscape is almost complete, just waiting for some more...

Hello guys i hope you can help me. My twinstar nano isn't working how it should be, if you watch the video you see that its doesn't create the fine mist till i push it up and down so that those big airbubbles escape en then the device work like its should. When i do that the device works like...

Hi al DIY-ers would there be anyone who could build a Cheaper Twinstar algae inhibitor. -- I thought I'd get the conversation going. I found the patent docs: Patent EP2656732A1 - Apparatus for controlling algal blooms and killing pathogens in fish tank - Google Patents Apparatus for...
