Where to buy clean up crew

[gar732]

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some clean up crew for my tank and was wondering who had the best selection and prices, I haven’t been to an Lfs since before the coral reef went out. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thanks.

I've always found the lfs to be pretty pricey. I usually order from reefcleaners.org. you don't have to ship overnight if you just get snails.

Think I'm going to have to break down to buy clean up crew myself just found a place called Gulf Coast ecosystems. They seem like they're less expensive than Reef cleaners.

I just received an order from ReefCleaners a couple weeks ago. Awesome pricing and threw in a bunch of extras.

Thanks. I was looking at reefcleaners packages, I’ll look into gulf coast also. I was hoping to catch a good deal locally but it is pricey.

I used reef cleaners twice now. Can’t be beat. Great deals and prices. I buy half my tank size since they give you a much.

Reefcleaners is OK, a little better selection on Liveaquaria. Build your own CUC and the overnight shipping is free over $75 worth. There is also a guy on FB that collects in FL and will ship. Tyler Johnson you'll know when you find him. Generally pennies on the dollar v. other online retailers. But limited selection.

I just ordered 100 Florida Cerinth snails for $25 shipped from eBay. I'll post a followup when I get them.

I have ordered from Reef Cleaners a couple times and have been happy with their CUC’s

I use to buy wholesale from these people. They collect and breed their selfs.

I received my package today 100 cerith snails from allfishessentials in Florida. They're about a half inch in size and they're moving. Now let's see if they do anything about hair algae

Reeftopia is always solid. Good prices and selection of cleaners. They do bulk discounts and free give aways if you send a good amount. I always ask my local reefing friends who wants in and we split the cost which is super helpful.

I just got my cuc order from Saltwater Aquarium.com. Very happy with it. A little pricey.

We're in Bridgeport, CT and have TONS of inverts in stock; always at great prices. Be careful with some of the online stores; sometimes their inverts are real tiny.

I've used these guys a few times. I like the free shipping choices.

Go local and buy from blakes aqua den. I've found buying stuff online is very risky parasites wise. With my fresh water system I got coloumaris worms outbreak from ordering online. I ended up breaking it down and building up my 75g saltwater system I got. Just giving my 2 cents. It's been running clean of parasites besides ick once which was my fault. Blakes aqua den has the best prices of any LFS I've seen in CT.

It's true and sometimes don't even ship you what you order. They will sometimes also substitute without your input. I always shop in person.
