I ordered a Majano Zapper from PaulB last week. This is a device that was cleaned up from the version I posted about last January / February when a buddy of mine let me watch his DIY handiwork in Seattle take out some pest anemones. PaulB decided he could make a better mousetrap and fabricated something I was willing to hold -- after all, it is an electrical device we submerge in our saltwater system!
Before you ask, I don't know if he's going to make any more of these at the moment, but you can definitely put this on your wishlist. If Paul decides to make this a full time production, I think he's gonna sell a lot of these. It costs $75 plus $13 shipping.

It arrived in a skinny tube, holding two of them since a friend of mine ordered one with me.
As always, follow the instructions!
The Majano Zapper has a 25" long rod (from needle tip to where the wiring begins. The 52" long wiring leads to a momentary (dead man's) switch, and the power cord from the 12v power supply to that same switch is 65" long. In most cases, I think this is a good length to work in most tanks. Nano owners may find it to be too long to work with, but then again they may not care.
Instructions included
I'll be using this to eliminate pests as the livestock moves into the new 400g.
