Majano Laser?

[Bustyraker]

I have a few Majanos in my tank that I've been keeping at bay with Kalk paste. I do have a pretty heavily stocked sps tank and I know I'm eventually gonna nuke something with Kalk paste on accident. Where is everyone buying these lasers for burning the suckers?

i personally would not, the rasping technique can beat them if you get a hold quickly (lift out rock, literally rasp them off with a metal file or knife, taking a bit of anchored rock with them...no tissue= no return)

to me the lasers are just too dangerous at that wattage level and they still leave anchored tissue in the rock folds, fun but not as good as rasp

in many large tanks the rock cant or wont be lifted out...but if its avail for the lifting, that is the top majano method

It's far too cumbersome and any remaining tissue will sprout new aiptasia and then some.

Personally I use true Peppermint Shrimp, and I have tried every remedy except nudibranchs.

In a dominate sps I would lean towards Peppermints over any other method or nudibranchs as a long term remedy.

My malenarus wrasse will eat the peppermints

I bought a laser. It was a waste of money. It just eats batteries. Basically a set of batteries is good for one aptasia. If you have an infestation I would try something else. I ended up buying 2 peppermint shrimp that quickly took care of most of these critters over A few weeks

Is the laser the same as the wand?

Nah although I may try the wand instead. The laser is an actual laser that fries the nem.

I have used the wand with good success though not so much with aiptasia

I purchased laser components from
Survivalaser USA and assembled it. It is not a cure-all but works easier than any other method that I have tried. It is also fun!

I have been wanting a laser like this for a while now. I finally bought one more for fun than anything else since I do not have a pest anemone problem.

How long do the batteries last. My laser runs in 2 3 volt batteries These are pretty much toast after one session of zapping. My lazer is 1000ma
