nudis seemed to work then it got bad again, then the peppermints did a good job then like the nudie just gave up.....

Did you get eye protection Tony? I think it's worth mentioning these lasers can severely damage your vision and they can do it quickly.

thanks guys, yes robert, 2 sets of eye glasses......
Im being real careful with it... i took out the batteries and put it back in its case and put it where my son cant reach it... And I told him if I catch him with it "I will beat his ***"...... Sometimes you have to break it to them like that so they know not to... Im sure he got the message, he dont like me when I'm mad....

Does the beam have any heat to it? I remember a while back there were laser pens that claimed they could light matches and pop balloons with the beam.

How long does the recharge on yours take?
Be careful shining it in the sky, I read an article last year a guy was busted for shining a laser at the ghetto bird. They tracked him down, they really frown on that activity. I know you didn't do that, just throwing it out there.
I don't think the Krypton has enough power at 100mW to do what yours does.
And I know I've asked this like 9000 times already, but what camera do you have again?

At least we both know who Chewbaca is?
I showed the wife the laser and before I could even get the word "I" out of my mouth she said no. I'm going to have to go Tony's or Jack's to play with the laser.

I don't have the batteries and charger yet, hopefully Thursday... I am using cr123 and they are not rechargeable.
and yes no flashing things in the air, you can get time for that.... If I'm going to do time, it better be worth it...

Interesting. I've never used one, but from all the aiptasia laser threads I've read people mentioned the laser would only run for about a minute then they had to recharge. What they meant by recharge, I didn't think it was related to the batteries but I suppose that makes a little more sense now. It was only about a 1 minute recharge time IIRC.

you let it cool down I believe or something to the nature of letting it rest before you run it again

Most of them will have a duty cycle. To exceed that duty cycle could cause irreparable damage to the laser.

tony, are you beaming thru the glass or from the top of the tank? if you go thru the glass, would that cut down the power of the laser too much or have the potential risk of heating the glass to the point of cracking it?
350gt
Wed, 24th Apr 2013, 10:47 AM
Through the glass, no one on the threads I've read have had any issues...... They did have a waterproof model, maybe I should have grabbed that one.

Wed, 24th Apr 2013, 10:51 AM
i dont know if it would be an issue or not, but that would bite if it cracked your glass. next time you try it, you may want to see if it is heating up the glass at all. even if the glass is only heating a little, that could mean that it is reducing the effect of the laster on the aiptasia.

Remember what happened in the movie "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer when the professor put impurities on the glass? I thought about this as well last night.

ACE no heat whatsoever on the glass..... even made my wife feel to make sure....
I have wiped out a whole section of them already. the few I did the other day have not reappeared yet....
I know it will never solve the problem but would be nice to pull out to wipe out a polyp or 2 every now and then...

Laser was by far the best investment I ever made. I'm aptasia free. I also can get most pest algae. Plus it was only 149 bucks. 1.3 wattfrom lazerer.com
