Definitely would love to see a follow up review and give your honest thoughts on whether this product does the job as it's intended to. looking forward to the next update!
Thanks Blake. 💐Finally I know what it is (got recommended in some online shops). And now I’ve decided I don’t wanna have Hydroxy radicals in my tank. Radicals always want to „merge“ with something (at least no oxygen radicals).
Thank you for your explanation. My unit stoped after a minute so i got worryd that it did not worked properly and that i don,t let it on It helped a lot
It’s really handy when you run hight tech tank imo. I tend to push my dosing and light to high marks so algae was always an issue but when I run chihiros doctor it reduces it greatly. But Tds higher than 500 is really high when my tap water is generally 60-80 tds and probably do a water change and generally aim for bellow 300
I've watched all the set up videos and I've never been able to get it to work.after a few years in the box, I just found it in the closet and still can't get it to work.
If it works or not? Personal opinion is that it does work but has some risks, if you forget to turn it off it can be disastrous. I think UV sterilisation is just as effective with no risk
UV will only work on suspended particles in the water column - does this not create a weak chemical change in the water, therefore having a wider affect. I’m using this more for algae prevention ( not green water ) than fish/shrimp diseases.
Hey 👋 i used it fairly regularly when starting up new tanks except one day I forgot to turn it off and the inhabitants all passed away. As a result I recommend UV sterilizers over devices like these that serve the same purpose albeit without the same fancy bubbles with far less risks 😅
Yeah sure have, turn off the flow and spot dose it with flourish excel. Give it a few mins to 'soak in' to the algae before turning flow back on. It should turn red or white and die back
@@BlakesAquatics I like that I’ve is out of tank . I like as little equipment in tank as possible. I’ve got my co 2 through at external defuser atomiser seems to be working well runs in line with canister
I'm pretty sure they don't work. I put it in a brand new aquarium. I was literally having algae grow straight ON THIS PRODUCT.... I tried both this the and the Nano +, with pretty much the same result. I pretty much had the same amount with or without this device. I didn't have serious algae either way because I planted heavily in the beginning. I can't see a more thorough way to prove it doesn't work than algae growing on the device that is supposed to prevent algae. Save your money.
@@craigbroderick8935 not yet just started thinking about a week ago I’ve got a new planted tank that now really stable past all it’s start up algae . I was thinking mite be worth a try n pretty cheap
Definitely a gimmick element to them, theyre best off as a short term application on tank setup before algae sets in rather than a way to get rid of it
