Aquascaping - make something nice out of your aquarium!
Aquascaping has elevated aquarium design to an art form. Scenic landscapes are created under water, similar to painting a picture. The aquascaper uses natural materials such as aquatic plants, soil and decorative objects. Often this so-called hardscape consists of wood and / or stones. Aquascaping originated in the natural aquarium, a style that was founded several years ago by the Japanese aquarium designer and photographer Takashi Amano.

Twinstar is a brand of the Korean manufacturer Enbion. It was launched in 2007 and the name has quickly established itself as synonymous for innovativions in aquarium technology. With sterilizers like the Twinstar Nano or the Twinstar Yotta you can reduce pathogenic germs in the aquarium and counteract algae growth. Twinstar is based on the principle of electrolysis, in which water molecules are broken down by minimal current. This produces very reactive radical oxygen, which reacts with pollutants and germs in the aquarium water.
For some time now Twinstar has also been designing LED lights for aquariums. The company primarily relies on RGB LEDs, which provide a particularly beautiful accentuation of light in the aquarium. Different models and series are available, which are striking in their different designs and levels of illuminance. These lamps can optionally be used as mounted- or suspended lamps.
