and yes lasers have come to be a great medical aid. usually used in controlled conditions by highly trained individualls.. i realise they are just researching and testing theories. but reality is how many ppl whent cool where do i buy one... could i use it on the neighbours cat. or singe bubbas butt when he passes out tonight.
i do like the idea. i just forsee other issues due to the stupid gene some ppl are born with...and yes at times even my stupid genes overtake my common sence cause i thought could i use that on the nieghbours cat

agreed they shouldnt just start calling these "aiptasia zappers" and start selling them to every lfs. from what the thread says you have to buy the lasers in pieces...not even sure if its even legal in canada or not to own a high wattage laser.
using aiptasia and peps is def a pain in the ass.....now what if your tank was also being over ridden with valonia, anthelia and vermatid snails??
the thing that drew me to this idea is its a multi tool for various pests, like a table saw it can do a great job and is very helpful but its dangerous....it isnt needed i mean a hand saw still cuts wood but a table saw is fast its clean and its less work......sure my woodworking teacher ran his thumb through the blade in grade 9 but to my surprise people still use table saws.
out of everyone im the least likley to be the person who should have a laser lol but i like the idea that people are trying it and its working and who knows maybe in a few years they will make a unit thats safe for home use....or they could just drop the idea and we will never know
def dangerous but no one cant admit that its the direction our world is heading be it in the hobby or in my computer we are using lasers and light beams for alot of good applications
