A short video with some thoughts about the ada rgb solar and the chihiros rgb.
Nice video Nigel...I'd really be interested in the comparison between ADA RGB Solar and the Twinstar LED S. From what I can gather the spectrum and colour rendition may not be too dissimilar.
Just been to Green Aqua and seen the ADA RGB and compared it to the Twinstar LED ( not sure which model they had on tank). The ADA RGB Solar was amazing IMO Colour wise, thinking about getting some myself with reflectors
How did you find Green Aqua? Mind blowing?

They was running on a 7hr photoperiod and CO2 was green on the DC and tank turnover was less than I expected (less than mine!) They said the high light output wasn't an issue algea wise and their tanks was testimate to that. Some on ADA ferts on others on their own mix of ferts.
Yes this is what I’m always going on about (and recent post triggered a rantlow flow like 5x turnover or so (or even less

My tanks are lucky if they get a 5X turnover
Jurijs mit JS also runs much lower CO2 injection rates - I was starting to feel guilty of Plant Abuse until I saw videos from Jurijs and Filipe Oliveira and GreenAqua
I suspect that substrate based nutrients (slow steady release) & lean water column dosing are significant factors
Re ADA Solar RGB
There’s certainly scientific evidence supporting light spectrum effects on types of plant growth, algae growth ... adaptability does not mean there are no optimum spectra
Historically, ADA runs a barrage of tests before releasing products to market
They was using the Sera CO2 reactors and some custom ones too, had I good look in the cabinetsinjection rates wasn't massive either.
They did say the ADA RGB Solar doesn't seem to suffer much algea issues due to its spectrum or that's how it seems![]()

Oh and they clean the filters once every three months
Well the proof is in the seeing the tanks and I was BLOW AWAY by how very little aglea was in any tanks, so does throw a spanner in the x10 rule and high lights, there was almost like a mill pond to mine being a river! no tank was over 12 months old all the same

They use twinstar nano + uv filters + daily dose excell in every tanks!
Filipe told me to try some commercial micros and see if it does something. Turns out my plants are growing much better and faster now.
Brand?
Are you certain this applies to the new showroom?They use twinstar nano + uv filters + daily dose excell in every tanks!
maybe but they don’t try to “sell” anything in their video presentationsBelt and braces approach eh. Suppose it sells a few units too.
