http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/mar ... icity.html "I have been selling these things for a while and have shipped almost 90 of them. A patent is almost finalized and soon they will be sold commercialy but I don't know what the price will be because someone is manufacturing and selling them for me. The patent is costing me $10,000.00"
FYI - Paul has had a single reef tank going for over 40 years now & has been feature in lots of magazines & reefing forums - a real nice guy. http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/gen ... -year.html

While him making it into a sellable item I have seen this done before with a small 24v battery at like 7amps. Its a great way to get rid of anything in a tank really from majonoes to aptasia to the PITA GSP or Buttons that grow EVERYWHERE... It will nuke em and have no fall out. I just dont like the idea of sticking anything like that into my tank. Sure I do it with pumps that are sealed and heaters and stuff but one pop from that thing could hurt you and your tank really bad if it were to surge and you shock your tank with a full 110 from a wall socket... I think the battery thing was safer. Least with it the most you would do is shock everything a little.... 110 would kill every fish you have. Just my take on it.
I have had cell phones fry, tv's fry and everything else fry from faulty sockets or other rare but possible things... It is just my opinion but stranger things have happend.. I would feel much safer with a smaller amp 12v battery on the end of that thing than a 110 socket.. converter or not...
The small amp 12v battery one would be a good one to see someone delevop & have for sale. Pual getting tons of feedback... everyone loving them.
mushroom - I think your are correct - I just read this post... if that helps anyone... "it's actually very safe - it has a plug in AC-DC supply"
