Hey all,

I was thinking of getting an army of herbivore snails. Well, maybe more like 50. Before I go with liveaquaria I decided to check with you magnificent folks on retailers you use.

Thanks,

Clinton
 
Saltwaterfish.com is very reasonable. I use them for what I call mass algae clean up. Than once done I give to a reef club or local LFS
 
I haved used Reefcleaners at https://www.reefcleaners.org/ for several orders over last couple years and for bang for your buck pretty hard to beat. One downfall (but keeps him cheaper) is he ships by mail and some species not available that others will Fed Ex overnight etc. to some areas.

Live aquaria kind of hit or miss....had couple wrong type than what ordered on snails....and then Kole Tang DOA after 5 days lost in UPS...

I have ordered some CUC from Vivid Aquariums and WWC corals and besides higher priced nothing wrong there either. I had an issue with a Tuxedo Urchin but Vivid stood behind it and sent out another which is alive and well year later.
 
Reefcleaners has been my go to in the past...however, no trochus or turbos available :(
 
LiveAquaria has a great 'build your own' CUC packages. Also they have a 14 day money back guarantee if anything doesn't make it.
 
I have been happy with CUC orders from Reef Cleaners and Blue Zoo.

Yeah, no trochus is the only bummer to me.

I do like their dwarf ceriths though, nerites and nassaurius
 
Salty Underground. I bought 6 after a month I had hundreds of tiny roaming the tank. Have spread them out between two tanks since.
 
I agree reef cleaners is great. This before and after in 2 weeks adding a clean up crew, lot of snails and snail only packages. The top picture is after and bottom is before.

Our those 2 fighting conches I see in there?
 
I may end up getting some coral and snails from aquarium depot because of their large selection.
 
My tiger is so fun to watch!
