The Twinstar Nano Algae Inhibitor is designed to prevent the growth of green algae in the aquarium by eliminating and reducing spore production. This device is safe for live plants, fish and aerobic bacteria. Its microbubbles provide a sterilizing factor that destroys the cell wall of green algae without harming the natural biological environment within an aquarium. Because algae and plants share similar growth requirements, they are constantly in competition with each other. When you reduce the number of algae present in an aquarium, you allow the plant to receive more light and absorb more nutrients. The Twinstar Algae Inhibitor thereby promotes plant growth by reducing algae. The effect may see increases in plant growth up to 50%!

The best way to combat algae growth is to achieve a carefully balanced aquarium with proper lighting and nutrient levels. Preventing algae growth from the spore level will give aquarium plants the upper hand in competing for crucial nutrients. Please note, this device will not cure, remove and prevent algae growth alone. It is recommended to use in combination with good maintenance habits for best results. 

Certified by the Korea National Institute of Fisheries Science for its sterilization effects on thread algae, spot algae, brown algae, and more.

Algae free for months now

"Tons of videos skeptical of these products and whether they work or not. I have two (one per 13 gallon planted aquariums) and algae is a thing of the past. I highly recommend regardless of what skeptics say."

Buce and Twinstar

"Buce Plant was very quick to deliver and was great about sending status updates. I got the Twinstar Algae Inhibitor. It's been on about 2 weeks. Most of the algae has turned white and died. I was assuming it would start to disintegrate by now and get filtered. But, not the case. Regardless it has helped. The plants and fish seem unaffected by it so that's good."

Q&A

I ordered the twinstar algae inhibitor. But I can't use it. The adapter is for another country and not USA.
Hello Kristi, Thank you for reaching out to us. Was the Algae Inhibitor purchased from us? Please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@buceplant.com with the details of your order or any further questions or concerns. We are always happy to help! -Team Buce Plant
Can this be installed in the filter section of a AIO aquarium or does it have to be in the main display?
Hello Eric, thank you for your question. Typically is it recommended to put the Algae Inhibitor in the main display as this will directly focus on where algae may be presented. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at support@buceplant.com. Best, Team Buce Plant
Would the M3 be appropriate for a 2 gallon setup?
Hello Luke, thank you for your inquiry! The Twinstar M3 Algae Inhibitor is typically designed for larger aquarium setups and may not be suitable for a 2-gallon tank. This product is ideally used in aquariums that are significantly larger, where algae growth can become more of a challenge due to increased water volume and lighting. If you have algae growing in your 2 gallon tank, please feel free to email us at support@buceplant.com, we'd be happy to further assist you! Kind regards, Team Buce Plant
I bought the Twinstar Nano device and installed it my tank. Should I be seeing the bubbles coming from the device constantly or is that automated? Thanks!
Hi Franzi, Thank you for reaching out to us. Bubbles should come out in regular time intervals. Best regards, Buceplant Team
I have 65 gallon tank. Is Nano + enough for it? I think, supply voltage needed is 100V to 240V, correct?
Hi Mehul, Thank you for reaching out to us. Please contact our customer support team at support@buceplant.com as they can further assist you with this question. Best regards, Buceplant Team
