I am just curious if anyone has used lasers to control pests in their tank? I have run acrross a few discusions but wanted to see if anyone had tried or had a laser that would be willing to try.

The club has a laser you can borrow. In used it to try to get rid of some mushrooms. Must not have gotten them completely as they're coming back.

Since I don't have access to that forum, any chance you could share a link to what laser the club has? I've been thinking of trying one myself.
