Which clean up crew?

[jdellman]

It's time to order a clean up crew, and looking into it there are many options, i.e. c"reef cleaner" crew, "algae eating" crew, etc. I have been mainly looking at etropicals.com. Anyone have any experience with them, and any advise as to which one is better? I am just looking for a general, multip purpose crew.

Thanks in advance.

Jim
