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

Not knocking the idea. Just think most people don't think. And that they are are going to be those same people crying on this forum.

I'm sure we can all think of an someone we know on here that will complain they screwed something up.

It's the most common thread. Help! Lol.

You know what I mean Denny. Too many dumb ass people.

there are indeed alot of foolish people and im sure there will be some bad apples who take it to far with "super lasers" or 10 lasers glued together or like i said a big drunk laser tag one night.

all the safety aside because yes its dangerous and the rc threds all state that its dangerous no ones saying its not but its interesting and another step forward in erradicating pests in which this hobby spends ALOT of money on and suffers alot of losses.if with the proper research we could learn new things...what if there were a way to use the intensity of the laser without the safety?? what if we kept trying and bam!! we find a laser that works but isnt harmful to us?? that would be quite the breakthrough and it wouldnt happen unless peope tried new things.


would be nice to sit next to my tank and rid it of majanos, bubble algae(valonia) and say any harmfull pests all in one sitting without adding chemicals to my tank or having to buy several fish or crabs and nudis for a couple of hundred buck then do it all again in 2-3 yrs.
