Barelycuda Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Kate I do have it. Are you coming to the meeting on Saturday? If so I can bring it to you then or I can take it back to OIAB. I do wish the action of returning the majano's was a little bit more dramatic but I will admit it does work and I'm ordered one for myself. One thing to advise you on though is to read the instructions. You can only use this for a certain amount of time per 24hrs. based on tank size.

Electrokate Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I am missing the meeting due to migraine... thanks though. I had been warned about using it for x amount of time by a friend who had access to a prototype unit. He was not entirely pleased but it beats letting the darn things go (: I have plans to use it in my 3 tanks and at work, and I might buy one too if it works out. Thanks, Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocboat Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Anybody try this on Xenia yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrokate Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Anybody try this on Xenia yet? Used it on xenia at the base, it was slow going but I think I got it fully removed. No point doing the whole animal, it would take forever. This thing is way slower going than I thought it would be, majano's took at least 3 days of applications and may still regenerate. Small aiptasia appear dead. Still a better tool than chemicals, as it does not drip on lower corals and clams like aiptasia X type products, and you can reach more pests. Have to frag the tank way back to get them all though, unfortunately. Oh well, snacks for filefish (: Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrokate Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 So who gets this next, I think I am done... I killed some of the anemones but others retreated into their holes and split, so am actually propagating them. I am now going to lift the rocks and pipette the water out of their holes, then fill the hole with RO water and see what happens. If that does not work I am going to fill the holes with superglue or putty. Time for the nuclear option. Also wondering what I owe for rent-pest free frags?

rgrcrain Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 You dont owe anything. I would actually like to get it back for a couple days. Maybe I could meet you somewhere this weekend to grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Kate, I really like to use my torch on those pesky buggers. As long as other corals aren't too close it works pretty darn well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2odvl Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Anyone in the Eugene area have one I could rent/trade/use as my mojanos are getting out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It would be cool if you could post a small demo of a zapping so those of us considering buying one can see it's stregnths and abilities. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I pretty much gave it to Coz at Oceans in a Box. It works but I dont have enough mojanos to worry about lately. Its really not THAT impressive it just kinda bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 So it's not like the "lasers" you see on you tube built out of blueray players lenses. Those look like FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenautilus Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Anyone in the Eugene area have one I could rent/trade/use as my mojanos are getting out of hand. We have them at the store for rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisW Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ya, I know about the majano wand, I was wonding about the "torch" that garrett uses. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohaynow Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 just a little butane torch. Looks like a tiny jet engine that burns the crap outta mojano's. needs to be out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisW Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well that's too bad, we need an UNDERWATER torch! That would come in handy! Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If it works on hydroids I will certainly get one!! I have one in my closet you can borrow. I am pretty close by if I remember corectly. I live off of Scholls Ferry and Conestoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 As far as Aipies and Majanos go, the best thing I have ever used and why my wand is in the closet is just a syringe with a metal tip full of boiling water and lemon juice. It works very very well. One shot, one kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunMonahan Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have used the wand and it does work quite well. It just takes a little time to zap the mojano. I have always used straight muriatic acid in a syringe with a needle. You can inject the nem and it'll melt them instantly. The acid will dissolve surrounding LR and sand and re-buffer into the water, so you don't have to worry about lowering your tank's ph. It will also work on any other coral you want to rid you tank of(naughty) A gallon of muriatic acid costs $7-$8 and it'll last years.
