Love your videos. Keep up the good work sir!
Thank you! I'm really glad you appreciate it. Had to use a bunch of memes just to make things light because some topics are bit too balls deep in research and science. hahaha
Lesser meme please.
Thank you for the suggestion. I might consider doing so in future videos
sakto to...was planning to get one of this..this is really helpful..keep it up bro
HAHA, welcome. Ano bili bili ka?
@@AquaristForFun bili bili din siguro ako for the foggy effects
Loved it!! Hilarious and engaging. Great way to get information out that’s fun to watch. Cheers!
Great video! And it helped me decide I don’t need it and the memes made me laugh.
Glad I could help!
i love every aspect of this video.
Good work, thnx ;)
No problem 👍glad you liked it
Does this minimize or kill blue green algea aka Cyanobacteria?
question as I am new, I have just started my tank. Is it safe once you have added prime to your water to have your hands in there working on bits, is it a safe chemical? I am changing water every day as it’s a new heavey planted c02 tank and using seachem prime everyday is it safe should I have been wearing gloves .So new just looking for tips on how to work with different things
should be relatively safe. i dont wear gloves when i do water changes and when I use prime. But I always wash my hands after just to remove any excess dirt and chemicals off my hands
Thank you for the detailed information and Great vedio 😁
My question is, will these sterilizers have any negetive effect on the beneficial bacteria colony in the tank and filters?
Thank you
It could but since it only turns on for maybe around 5 seconds every hour or so it doesn't really affect the beneficial bacteria. If you try and do a DIY without proper understanding of how it should work there's been reports of filter crashes and large livestock death. Like I said in the video, hydrolysis isn't a simple 1+1 equation and there are multiple factors that could affect the results and outcome.
@@AquaristForFun Alright.
Thank you for the input.
😁
Hi can I use DIY sterilization at night time in aquarium or any problems with DIY sterilization plz
what do you mean DIY sterilization? and what sterilization process did you use
I read something about the radicals it produces harming the gill cells of fish
Hey I have a question about the chihiros rgb 2. I have several red plants in my scape for example : rotala vietnam, althenatera reineckii mini. But in my opinion they are not that red where I want them to be. I have a twinstar 3 450 white 1750 lumens, shut my lumens be more?
if you want to get technical, lumens doesnt really matter. what matters is the PAR levels, the higher the better AND nitrate limitation. if you can lower your nitrates to as low as 0-5 you'll get the bright reds. 5-10 you'll see some reds but can be orangish or pinkish
@@AquaristForFunBut if you may choose between Chihiros or Twinlight what is your choice? For a Dennerle 55 liter tank.
@@denniswesterveld982 depends on your budget. Chihiros has more options and IMO has better price to performance ratio. More options from A series, C series RGB, WRGB, VIVID, X etc.
on my 45cm 80L cube i used x2 AseriesII lights and they're doing really great. It's bonsai setup with carpet plants
@@AquaristForFun witch brand of lightning? Chihiros?
Hi 😊
I wonder if there is any big different between the doctor and the twinstar ? 😊
I think the Twinstar offers different products for different uses. The latest doctor offers most, if not all, modes in 1 product from algae prevention, disease prevention etc
@@AquaristForFun Thank you 😊 So the doctor is an all in one.
Going to order the doctor then 😉 My aquarium is finaly (almost)like I want it, like to keep that way 😉
@@SandraKeyzer yeah, chihiros comes as 3 in 1 for the latest gen, while twinstar comes in as NANO, YOTTA and SHRIMP
But those bubbles are soooooooooooooo cool😂😂😂 I must have them
Thanks for the video totally agree on all counts bro … but tiny bubbles are fun. 😂🙌🏻
yup, thats why I still have one. HAHAHA
Is this one better than a uv lamp in the aquarium?
I haven't personally used UV lamps before but i think if you are more of a fish keeper than an aquascaper i think UV lamps are a better option. But if you are dabbling into aquascaping with proper plants and livestock then I think sterilizers like this one will be better. Also if you have a really high TDS these sterilizers are not recommended
That’s some funny S#!%, really informative too! Thx..
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm getting mixed reviews with the use of memes tho. Thank you!
Made me laugh, nothing wrong with that these days!
Apologies if this is a silly question, but I feed a lot of live brine shrimp - is it possible they could hop into the grid and short the whole thing out? Could that damage the unit or harm the fish somehow?
they do jump once the process starts, and it never shorted mine during the time i was using it. the biggest problem i had was calcium deposits on the grid and lessening its effectivity
@@AquaristForFun Thank You for your answer!

That killing apparatus killed me.lol
HAHAHA honest to goodness, they literally filled the USA patent with the word "killing apparatus". 73x to be exact. it felt as if a psychopath worded the entire patent. hahaha
Cringed at every "meme" clip
haha. had to do it, i live for those moments hahaha
Worth it?
not really. its just sitting inside the box of my spare sponges and pipes. good thing I bought it 2nd hand from another person who doesn't use it as well. hahaha
I see an interesting empty tank behind you haha
hahaha! an eagle-eyed guy as well huh? hahaha. It's a work in progress😉
so not actual test?....
its hard to set exact variables that'll show definitive results. unless what you want is another stereotypical CZcamsR approach which is not my style. Say lighting, co2 and fertilization method are the constant variables, a lot of factors can affect the results the biggest of which is the presence/lack of aquarium maintenance which will then defeat the main purpose of the study. I've already provided a lot of scientific journals in the description box, please read it as it tries to explain what the manufacturer doesn't. SPOILER ALERT, such sterilizers are NICE to have but is NOT a MUST have. Aquarium husbandry and horticultural care trumps such auxiliary devices.
Constructive Feedback:
If you eliminated the crap out of your video I might had bothered to watch it all the way through, the immature content had me searching for someone else's video.
They don't kill existing algae they prevent further growth of algae, I have used it in my tanks for 2 years and it stopped it in it's tracks. Hasn't harmed livestock and promoted healthy plant growth. So there you have it in one.
Arbitrary cut scenes funny-no, valuable - no, irritating - yes
so tired of everyone trying to be a comedian. its an epidemic.
They can be funny but here they were way too long and way too many..
Not molecule, atom.
oohhf! you got me! I actually noticed it during editing but didnt have the time to reshoot! hahaha😀
I like you
thanks 😀
Seriously, cut down with the jokes. Gets annoying when the useful info is interrupted every 10 seconds
Sorry, I am trying to cut down on memes. Its just the first videos I made was riddled with memes. hahaha.
Would be informative if not so annoying interruptions!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmaol u made my day
Clips in between video is ablsolute annoying
I think just a UV lamp filter is way better than these crap
true, UVlamp are very specialized, it does one job and its the best at staving green water off and keeping your water clear. these products are essentially just aesthetics.
I stand with the memes, put as many as you want, it’s your channel.
thank you!!!! means a lot to me.
To silly. Good info but annoying.
Man, I think think you're a smart guy.Thanks for the review.But PLEASE do not use these IDIOT memes, its really not necessary....
yeah, Im trying to cut down on memes, Believe it or not, most people are intimidated by big science jargons and explanations so I'm trying to be more relatable and make the video a bit more fun. Thank you so much for the feedback, I'll lower my meme count on the next video
Meme as much as you like dude! Fuck the haters 😂
lol, thanks!!!!😂
@@AquaristForFun yeah, do what you like. I really loved your sense of humor. (Kabayan kasi lol) Keep it up!
