Sterilizer against green algaeThe Twinstar M5 is a sterilizer for the prevention of green algae in freshwater tanks.

Twinstar :: M5
Habe mir den Twinstar gekauft, weil ich nicht wollte das mir wieder der Spass am Aquarium durch eine Algenplage genommen wird.
Habe Zeitgleich ein Nano-Cube und einen Scappers-Tank eingerichtet. Einziger Unterschied das Licht, der Filter und das Becken Volumen.
Düngung proportional gleich.
Fazit ist, im Nano-Cube habe ich keine Algen, und in dem anderen mit Twinstar alle Algen die man beim einfahren haben kann. Kieselalge, grüner Belag und jetzt eine Fadenalgen Pest.
Ich denke, viel verkehrt machen kann man bei dem Gerät nicht, also schliesse ich das aus.
Für das Geld sollte man sich lieber ein paar schöne Garnelen kaufen. Absoluter Fail.
Ein Stern dafür, es könnte ja noch schlimmer sein, wer weiß.
