love it
The king of DIY I'm new to this I have a 60 gallon tank woth Oscars how much do I need to have on this tank
You should be careful with electrolysis. The electricity will always decompose the "weakest" chemical in the tank. That COULD be water becoming H2 and O2 but it is also possible that the steel realease toxic heavy metals. Especialy if the voltage is high. And if there is any trace of sea salt in the water, it will produce Cl2 and then all life will be sterilized...
Can be car battery 13 v or can becous I can found battery like this in video
@@kareemafifi2399 Yes I have seen people use up to 19volts
I'm sooo happy you did a diy for this product. you've just saved me a little bit of money haha
youre too good to us joey!! freezing your nuggets off to do a build for our entertainment that maybe only 1% of us will ever do.... youre awesome man.
What's up Joey! Nailed another DIY project, your videos are always keeping hobbyists like myself interested and up to date with simple but effective builds. Regardless of the project I am continually learning something new. In one of your next videos it would be great to see an update on your discus! Also I would like to hear your opinion on caring for discus from more than one breeder in the same tank.
Thanks, cheers!
Great job, brother!
Having used the Twinstar myself (testing to see if it was a product we'd like to carry) I too found that the effects were minimal.
Thanks! Big Als right? You do an awesome job on their channeI. This was more of a curious project, you wont see one on my aquariums though. Some have had great success with them in the UK, but i doubt they will ever make a splash in N.A. I'll stick to UV.
Yep, Big Al's :) thanks for the kind words!
I have to agree that UV is a much better option for most. Nice to see the aquarium industry dabbling in other forms of sterilization, though.
thank you joey.
always wanted this video from you 😁
One of your best videos, well done!
this is awsome and so simple. Thank you!
this seems like a really good way to oxyginate the water.
OMG !!! YOU ARE THE KING MAN !!! i am from peru, i will try this ideas on my own aquarium !!
CONGRATULATION! GREAT VIDEO, just i have a question, Does this device affect the mosses? especially the flame moss!
Im just wondering if I can use this like an Ogrow for my hydroponic system. Does it oxidize the water better than an airstone?
Hey Joey, great channel with great content, keep it up
What are the oxygen levels before and after use? I've seen a device like this for aquaponics, and this video was real helpful for some trial and error of my own. Thanks for the great vids.
hey joey love your videos, with some 3d printing and assembling this could become a marketable product.
Very interesting video, thanks for your efforts in making it.
thanks for these videos. i just bought my first 75g and am so grateful for your tips on reducing costs for my fish so I can put that money to their fancy food.
Great video Joey!
great video Joey!
Love the ending and nice little project
I got to admit that the Twinstar is pricey but it has help my planted aquarium out significantly in the last month and a half. DIY or a Twinstar I think are great for killing algae and helping with many other issues. I recommend any type of a product for beginners or experience aquarium hobbyist.
Thank you for the idea ..... Run it how many hours a day...?
Super Cool! Thanks for sharing this.
Great vid Joey, $8 is pretty incredible. Have you done a video on a DIY uv sterilizer? I'm gearing up to build a bigger tank and I'm gonna need a uv as I'll be deleting my canister and going for a Refugium sump. I'd keep the canister but I've got some hang on backs that need the axe!!
cool video joey!
Loving your projects, Thanks and all that effort is really appreciated worldwide,
could you share any alternate of the RO/DI water systems which are expensive of some aquarium brands, is there any way we could achieve somewhat less or equal kind of water quality with the 3 stage common water RO units which we use in kitchen cabinets for drinking use.... what is the difference between the standards and thier output.
Thanks.
just wanted to say love the videos !!!! you actually inspired me to build my own tank and get a arowana !!!! and make a oscar tank !!!
+Matthew tracy awesome!
I've been looking around the internet for information about these and where do I find this? On a channel I have been following for a while also one that I trust the information from!! Good luck with the move to the new location!
thanks for the information. i also wonder how this doctor thing work, since it don't inject any medication to water i thought what it do making those bubbles.. anyways i got the technical information that i wanted. thanks man
hey congrats on hitting 200k soon man.
Thanks for the video. I have a lot of unused DC adapters laying around. This is producing o3 right. I have seen oxygen produced in a similar manner the sales person for o2 grow claimed that it used not just electricity but was a frequency like radio transmission but no other details were provided but for adding oxygen to water for watering plants or hydroponic Reservoir it is far better than air pump and air stone because of size of bubbles is much smaller than even the best air stone diffuser can produce so small that it doesn't break the surface of the water.
Nice tutorial. Would this work with a 5v phone battery adapter instead of battery?
I think I have seen this kind of equipment somewhere else. But it was used to increase O2 level in the water. In hydroponics it is important that the solutions has some O2. Could you check this with a DO meter? In a recirculating system could it be used to disinfect the system prior activation?
Nice videos, I like them, keep the good work.
That is a cool build man
will this work for my 55?
Thank you for your Great video,but is it safe for your fish,can we replace it with airstone?
Well, that's one way to encourage "Extra Energy" in your presentations! :)
Thanks man, how long time i use it in aday or 24 hour?
Thank you for the how to video. I was able to make this successfully on my first try. I did a very basic one that doesn't look great, but does the job. Now for the real challenge. How often and how long should I run it for?
Four years have past since you commented. What setup do you have and what did you find worked for you?
@@kreynolds1123 I have gone through several set ups since. This particular try failed with in a few weeks. I later bought one and they don't last more than 4 months in my current warter. I hope this is what you meant
Nice video. You could you the housing to that light to make a bare cheep mini canister filter for 5 gal fry tank that those inside the tank. I did it for my fry when I was 16 34 years ago. Work real good use some of the filter matter from main tank.
Hi Joey , just wondering if that sterilizer affects the Ph of the water at all ?
Is stainless ideal for the anode and cathode? Eventually isn't the screen going to deteriorate into the water? I would think iron would be better. Would it? Im not sure. Been a few decades since I was in science class.
Thank you so much .. this is really good ! The idea is sound. Probably could be used for reducing ammonia levels in Fish pond is we have larger Koi Ponds . Any comments are much appreciated.
I hear you say it's maybe not the most efficient method for sterilization but it seems like it would be excellent for oxygenation?
Do you think this would be an effective emergency oxygenator? Like the peroxide and potato one you made?
YOU ARE GREAT JOEY .KEEP IT UP.
YOU MADE IT SO EASY AND VERY LOW COSTING.
BUT I HAVE ALREADY HAVE IT, IT COST ME 83 DOLLARS.
Hey Joey, really enjoy your videos. How about a video of your camera and post production set up? Seems like a lot of fish people have an interest in photography.
Hey joey last night we bought our first arowana he/she is around 8" currently he/she has had few mealworms today do you have any tips for me like food and are tanning lights important (Hbrtg arowana) thanks
Would this be beneficial to a Walstad style planted tank? Curious what it exactly cleans/kills?
How often or not would I run this in my tank?
By chance, did you check the O2 level of the water before and after. As this is used more for adding O2 to the water then it is for Sterilizing. As they work better then using an air stone.
this is what i called diy
yup!
Its wrong peope dont do it you might kill your shrimp in tank.. electrolysis promotes crossion your copper wire will corrode in like 2days of useage and turn into copper sulphate that will desolve in water over time...
@@akshayrajput2488 There is no copper in stainless steel. As long as his wires are sealed to the water, no copper can be released.
So what is it supposed to do? I understand the UV sterilizers but what does this do vs the UV? What would be the max size tank you could put this in/how long would it take to treat the water. Also how would you know when/if it's done? Ahh sorry for so many questions! Lol I love your videos!
Thanks for video. may i know why water turn into yellow or near brown color within mins. ( i have created with stain and steel mesh) ??
I am your fan sir. Superb idea. But i have 1 question.
How much time it will on for every 24 hrs?
I keep over complicating my ideas on an efficient UV steriliser. I.e. can the bulb be submerged? what kind of socket would I need and is there even a non-proprietary bulb I can use?
what about UV led bulbs? are they just as efficient?
Would this not work for oxygenation in a power outage?
Joey I know this has nothing to do with this video I have a reef tank but I was looking at your power outage video and I was wondering if you can hook up a 12 volt pump to a car battery for emergency purposes battery packs for reef tanks are kind of expensive and don't last anything or maybe to 12 volt batt. sorry to stick this in here
1) Is it possible to integrate Chihiron 3 in 1 doctor OR twinstart sterilizer into Inline to Canister output pipe like Co2 reactor?
2) is it good idea to like this or better to mount inside tank ? ..
3) is there possibility of fish getting shock when it touches the metal part of it?
Just watching this video, I saw the oxygen generator in a bottle wtih peroxide and potatoes. Since this thing creates O2 can you use it just like the oxygen generator for the tank in an emergency to impart O2 in to the tank?
How about the "Chihiros Doctor Bluetooth Algae Remover", selling at eBay for $60? Any thoughts?
Hey Joey, can you do an update to 1 fish 2 fish? I just re-watched the video and I would like to see how they have progressed!!!
Joey Is using copper speaker wire a good idea. The introduction of copper into the tank may not good for crustaceans.
Hey joey my friend wants to know what plant he can use to lower nitrate that are safe for his rays, is it the mother plant?
Will this work on tap water?
Because for electrolysis of water u need distilled water normal tap water produces other substances and causes discoloration in water.
Hi. is this thing the Same thing to get more Oxygen into the water like the "o2 grow" thing?
if not, PLZ built One if those
Thank you !! Thank you so much!
Greeting from France !!
Hey Joey can you use this thing for microbubble scrubbing in a reef aquarium
any plans to show how to make an ultraviolet stabilization system?
do u think it's ok to have something like this with an aquaphonic system, with fish and plants???
Thx for sharing the technology behind it. Company should tell the consumer so humanity can learn
Hi, copper from the wire in the anode dissolved, im using 12V, you know why? Thanks
Two birds, one shot.
Aquarium tips and english practice. :D :D :D
Great channel.
hi Joey, Just wondering that maybe the twinstar is using a silver mesh, as silver has anti-microbial etc. effect when micro particles are in water. If so probably the reason for the $$$$ cost $$$$.
Further to this after seeing their website I suspect that they are using different metal combinations for the different models hence the different effects.
You are correct about the electrolysis breaking the algae spores, but in this case I think it goes further, as by having different metal meshes you create different nano particles which inturn have different benefits.
Does this only work with stainless steel mesh?
Hey Joey have u ever made a stream tank, if so please link the video as I can't find it, if not can u make a video about one?
HELLO. I have an 18 W LED UV Blacklight that puts out a wave length of 395-405nm. Will this clarify my 15G fishtank????
Great video. Have you done a diy UV sterilizer?
does it work as a 02 diffuser as well? it looks pretty similar.
Is UV better than steriliser to fight algae ? Since UV mostly use in fight green water algae..
It would be useful to know how many time the sterilizer has to run to have a correctly sterilized water. ( X minute(s) per liter or gallion for example)
will this help with algea as well i'm getting a problem with red algea in with my fresh water tank
the meshwire connected to negative pole is the only one that produce bubbles so it should be on upper position to prevent bubble clogging on the gap between the mesh wires.
Would this work as an air stone replacement being micro bubbles?
Very helpful, thanks
Hi DIY King big fan and loving your ideas but i didn't get any results of doing this, i tired it with 9W battery and nothing happens, after few minutes i felt the battery is heating up and didn't see any bubbles, any advice on this? thanks

Then you probably created a short circuit!! Measure the twister between your 2 leads outside the water. It should be infinitely high.
Hello, possible to use the charger from a smartphone ??? the usb out have 5 Volt 1A , will it be enough ? I want this device use for making oxygen ..
I mean can I use current from electrical sockets or only or only from dc batteries 🙏🏼🙏🏼pls tell
How large can you make this and if it will need a larger power supply to run it
Have you done any testing to see if it does work?
Help ... Can I use this water for plant ?
Tks a lot !
the stainless funnel pieces, what are they called? No luck at Lowes or Amazon...
Seems like a pretty cool addition to small hospital / quarantine tanks. Joey, any thoughts on using a wall adapter that puts out 6-12vdc as the power source? Then you could automate it with a timer.
Awesome video as always by the way. :-)
Great video
hi the king ... can i ask something .........how many hour must on , all the day.. or
Muito bom o canal
Parabéns .....
Would this be good for a quarantine tank
can I use this to oxygenate 6.000 liters of well water..?
would this project also oxygenize the water as well
What if you integrated the sterilizer into your pump system by coupling it into the aquarium outflow pipe? Then you could guarantee that it has come into contact with your entire water volume.
