! Searching just "nano" was way too general; "twinstar" was needed to home in on this gadget. Sadly, the many results that came up steadfastly refuse to actually answer my simple question: what does it do? You get tons of results like these:
"TWINSTAR INHIBITS GREEN ALGAE EFFECTIVELY WITHOUTA HARMFUL INFLUENCE ON AQUARIUM ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND KEEPS AQUARIUM CLEAN BY ELIMINATING SPORES FROM THE INITIAL PROPAGATION."
"The sterilizing factor with microbubbles destroys the cell wall of green algae to inhibit their growth and is non-toxic and harmless to aerobic bacteria. TWINSTAR also promotes better aquatic plant growth by inhibition of green algae on plants."
"TWINSTAR promotes plant growth by up to 50%. It increases the amount of light on the surface of plants by inhibiting algae that grow on them. It also activates trace elements in the water to make it more usable to plants."
But really nothing explaining how this miraculous change is effected. The idea that ozone is being generated seems to explain the effect, as you mentioned. If that is what is happening, why do they refuse to explain it? Do the Big Giant Heads in marketing think that revealing this will somehow alienate the eco-green planted-tank types? Newsflash, guys: people who are already adding umpteen different fertilizers, have bubbling CO2 injectors in them and spend megabucks on exotic light fixtures will jump at the chance to drop a little flying saucer...complete with bubbles!...into their tanks.
They should perhaps consider that crotchety old cynics (I don't actually know any, but I'm pretty sure they are around) get a little distrustful when they feel that important information is being intentionally withheld or concealed.
