Suggestions on where to get clean up crews

DaveMorris · Dec 18, 2015

I am in need of updating my clean up crew. I usually get critters from IPSF.com but I would like to get more options. I like to get them from different sources. Anybody have any recommendations? Good experiences? Unfortunate experiences?

I just do the work myself... No need for an army of invertebrates to clean up my mistakes.

I actually just updated my 1 man CUC on my 125g. Went to LPS and bought over 100 snails, a big nasarius snail, 40-50 small hermit crabs and a purple nudi. Hopefully by the end of December my tank will be clean, lol.

I've had many great encounters with reefcleaners.org , John has always done a great job packing and shipping.

I actually just looked there! I saw they had a pretty nice crew for a 125g of 4 different snails for only $102. Will consider it for my next purchase. CUC's in my predator tank can never be too much. Thanks BeardedReefer. Will also keep in mind once I get my coral reef tank up n running

No problem he's always known for giving you what you've ordered plus more. Which is one of the reasons I order from there still after 4 years in the hobby.

And shoot me a pm if you want a coupon code for your next order.

I might take you up on that too as I need to have a refresh crew coming in, to many injured snails on the bench.

From the looks of it, are you trying to get pets or janitors? The tank looks clean... YOU will always outclass a broom... No doubt. (do the work) GL.

No cloak, my rocks are covered in little sponges and fuzzy hair algae. Some stringy. I've only had one crab as a CUC for over a year so an upgrade was well over due.
