Old news, this was so last month when you where at the bottom of that bottle :razz:

I've seen these on youtube a few times, I wonder if it affects the surrounding corals, I mean it would have to with that kind of intensity, and what if a fish swam through the beam! lol but yeah they are kick ass, if you didnt use it on your aiptasia you could always get the cat to chase it haha

i could just imagine the burn marks on the floor and walls having the catch chase it. callit lazer graffiti..

i read through the thread and i agree with most in it being too dangerous. just think of a stray beam getting into your/your childs/other pets eye as they come to see what daddy is doing. and your child is blind forever more. there are safer methods they work. there is enough dangers in the hobby with just the corals and livestock.

for me two thumbsdown

Its definitely a scary little tool, but also pretty Kick A$$ too haha like a light saber for killing Aiptasia lmao

Next, theres going to be FRIKIN sharks with FRIKIN laser beams attached to their FRIKIN heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOu can see the zoanthids retracting when it was touched by the laser. I am pretty sure that in this case that laser did more dammage to the zoa than the aiptasia itself.

I would be afraid to use it anyway because it will burn everything that gets on its way, including any available eyes on its path.

Wouldn't this cause weakness in the glass at the point it enters the tank?

Im thinking this is as fake as the guy reviving frozen fish in a bowl of water

I cant wait to see the threads on the damage people have done to themselves as well as others.

RC forum had many ups and downs posted.... And points out the fact there are a lot of dumb people out there, probably in here too, that will use this with little or no thought.

i think it takes more than just passing by with the laser to do any harm to zoanthids he has to focus the beam and leave it on the subject for up to a min and lets say your prized zoanthids were being overgrown with
aiptasia,gsp,xenia i would take my chances losing a few polyps then have them spread over the whole colony.out of water it cinged the guys wrist on bare skin but they are not sure how much of the actual strength gets through the glass and water.




apparently it does not effect glass at the wattage it is used now if he were to say fall aslepp with it in the on position maybe but im also sure it says it only can run for 60sec at a time.





another thing i liked is everyone says oh theres more better ways to deal with pests??? name one thing that is good for aiptasia,xenia,gsp,majanos,bubble algae etc. all together????


yes there are idiots who shouldnt have a laser...theres idiots who shouldnt have guns or a baseball bat either that doesnt mean that i think baseball is a bad idea or i want to take guns away from the army.

it never amazes me how fast people shoot down ideas because the "general public" is to dumb to take care of themselves.....

if you point a laser in your eyes yes your an idiot just as if you shot yourself in the face or swimg a baseballbat into your own head....can it happen??? sure so can tripping up in your own shoe laces....so what now shoe laces are a bad idea?????


its a learning breakthrough who knows maybe we all wont have super cool lasers and play laser tag drunk one night but maybe they are on to something what if with more research and technology they were able to zap any bad critters before your frags made it to sale??? with computers and such its not that far fetched to believe:)
