I have tried lime paste, Joe’s juice, and a secret tribal dance I read about on reef central. No luck as you can see.

So now I am going to try the MajanoWand. I didn’t want to spend $115.00 on something that I had no idea if it would work or not, so I borrowed one from a past president of a reef club I attend.

 Not sure if you have seen one before, but the wand is a plastic stick, that has a thick needle at one end and wires coming out the other end that run to a plunger that reminds me of a bomb detonator, complete with the red button!

At first glance the wand appears to be made fairly well, it doesn’t look mass produced, but assembled one at a time. The power cord could be a bit longer (duh- we are working with water here), but the president had included an extension cord (how thoughtful).

So much like a kid with a new toy, it was time to try it out… plugged in the power, pushed the needle into the “weed” and pressed the red button and boom the Majano exploded… just kidding, the needle starts to give off all of these tiny bubbles and the Majano starts to turn milky white.

The Majano Wand does not kill by electrocution, there is never any electricity going into the water. The Majano Wand operates on the principal that when electricity is properly emitted into salt water it produces two gases. One of these gases is hydrogen, which is generated at the stainless steel tip. Hydrogen is the lightest element on earth, which converts into a gas when created, and the gas form of hydrogen is larger than the liquid size of salt water. When the probe of the Majano Wand touches the Majano tissue, it causes the water in the cells of the Majano to turn into hydrogen. 

The suggested way to “destroy” the weed is to stab the needle in and out as the Majano dissolves. It takes about 5 or 6 times of stabbing it in to finish one off. So I destroyed three of them. Total time 9 minutes ish.

So it looks like 400ish “weeds”, 3 min’s each, so 133 min’s of my hands in the tank…. But you are only supposed to do it for about 40 min’s at a time, and then wait for at least an hour for the gases to disperse.

Will they come back, did it work? Stay tuned for part two.

I had almost that many in my tank then I bought a Kleins butterfly fish. Though the fish doesn't get all of them, it has dramatically diminished the majanos numbers and I have to look pretty close to find one or two.

I would try scrubbing the rocks personally. Get a strong toothbrush ( or even a wire brush for that matter ) and just scrape the rocks clean.

Manually pull all you can out of the sand bed, then use a razor to remove any that are on the glass.

Add a kleins, then use a burn laser to fry any that grow back, or pop up between the rocks.

Just my two cents.

That's what I would do.....
