Default power

If you are scard about using 24 volt power (class 2) in your tank you better remove all your 120 volt heaters and power heads.

I still say grab a Bic lighter... or better yet, one of those butane torch lighters and cook the buggers. Works for me!

I have been trying to build one of these as well but can't seem to find the right power source. I would buy one of these if someone know where to get them.

Default ac adapter

Just about any ac adapter will work. You will also need to take apart an old drill and take the one of the brushes out for the negative. Google aptasia zapper and you will see what you need

Yes yes I do but I think that it might have just a wee bit to much power

I just ordered one from OC, can't wait till it gets here! I've only been having about 50% success with the sodium hydroxide, and its hard to kill some of the ones that are angled into the rock.

Do you think this will work on mushrooms? I have about 300 in my tank that I would love to nuke so that I can make use of the rock in my new tank. I won't introduce mushrooms ever again to a system.
