Aptasia Laser - Anyone Using One?

[reefgeek]

The link provided is a little dated but this seems like an aptasia solution that could be worth a try. Not having to get into the tank is a huge plus for me as my arms can not reach to the backside of my 72"x36" display. Aside from the possible risks to the user which would be mitigated by taking the proper safety precautions, this seems like a method that could be very effective.

Anyone on this forum have something like this or any experience using lasers?

Found what I believe to be the same or an equivalent kit on AliExpress

maybe enough to make it close but kill i highly doubt it. i personally wouldnt risk the glass if its strong enough to kill its strong enough to damage other things

The issue that I read is not your eyes you need to worry about, the laser can reflect partially off the glass, making that unseen beam dangerous where it hits. I have seen a lot of people who use them in youtube videos, but have not seen one used personally.
