Any local stores have a decent selection on Clean up Crews right now?... if anyone has been out and about lately and saw a good selection... let me know! Thanks.
 
I used reefcleaners.org, best bang for the buck. I try to always shop at my local shops, but for the amount you get in their packages it's hard to beat.
 
I have to agree with reefcleaners with the free shipping on the crews and the extra they always give you they are great
 
Large CUC orders I say yes to ReefCleaners or even R2G (they have great deals at times) John at ReefCleaners is a great person to deal with. Im getting some larger hermit crabs tomorrow from him. He went out today to catch some special for me since I needed larger ones that my Humu trigger wont munch on.

I try to buy from LFS as much as possible. Ocean Rift and Salt Water Havens are closest to me and my most frequent. But for large CUC orders it makes sense to get them from ReefCleaners or R2G
 
Sorry to jump in but I'm curious, what snails do you guys recommend for the glass and rocks from reefcleaners? I usually get trochus or astrea snails and they don't sell either.

Tons of the smaller florida cerinths (spelling?) I like. I get Nerites too,, they are larger but can't right themselves and my Urchin likes to carry them around for days lol. the Nas snails are nice if you have a sand bed otherwise they lose their effectiveness. I clean one side or front of my glass each day. They come out at night to clean and eat from the other sides that I did not clean. They know to avoid the side I cleaned. They never clean it all the way though.

That is a good point,, I have only seen my snails on the rock a few times. They pretty much stick to the glass. hermits for the rocks
 
sounds good guys... thanks... just placed a large order with ReefCleaners.org! got the free express shipping... so hoping if shipped Thursday should have the package on Saturday. Looking for to the goodies!
 
I've used John a few times but reefcleaners lacks the diversity I like to keep.


No Astreas or trochus these are my favorite.

The nerites are worthless to me all of one just hang out in one corner and never eat. They also like to climb out of the tank and die.
 
Ha yeah... Blackfoot Trochus are my absolute favorite snails... Just picked some up from Triton Marine! My new favorite store for sure... To go with my RC order... RC had cheap emerald crabs as well which are my favorite so got some of those coming up
 
You guys are no fun... Emeralds are pound for pound the best all around cleaners there are... Never had an issue with them. Dan at salty critter will tell you it's the best bang for your buck cleaner...

Unless the zoa or coral is already dead or dying I have never seen one touch anything valuable

My experience with emeralds has been good except for the very large ones. My perception is though that large ones can get a little offensive to fish. lol Perception is my reality.
 
Got my crew from Reefcleaners! Holy cow does he send a lot... I kept pulling out bag after bag going did I order this, did in order that! Funny... I ordered some limpets really cool never had them before... I ordered like 6... Everything went into the tank last night btw... Anyways this morning I went to check on the tank and I saw a bunch of small white discs on my tunze magnet... Never seen before after like 20 years I thought I had seen most things...

So I go around to my room in back and pull one off... Sure enough baby limpets! Score I ended up with like 20 babies.

Tank is clearing up pretty good now. Anyways just wanted to post the positive receipt from Reefcleaners..
