The article also does not describe one of the most commonly used devices reffered...

    Slip on Powerhead. Pros and Cons

    Dumpsterdiver covered things pretty well but I will add that blanks are loaded to a far lesser pressure than a standard round and there isnt really a good way of sealing blanks very well for underwater use. As far as sharks? If you have to "get real" with a shark it will occur faster than you...

    Any reason NOT to use NiMH rechargeables??

    I cant see any disadvantage to using them. Thye are generally designed for use in high current demand devices. One of the downsides to those type rechargeables is that they will lose there charge simply sitting around doing nothing. I believe the last technical piece I read said that they can...

    Excellent advice! Couldnt have said it any better. I home brew and know 4 other groups of people who home brew as well. I havent heard/had any problems. The only thing I would add is to check the inside's of your tanks on a regular basis for rust and/or contaminants. Ive mentioned this to...
