Clean up Crew

[jrvelie]

I am looking at ordering more critters for my clean up crew and was wondering what some of the better online stores were? I live in Michigan and like to support my LFS but they have a small selection on CUC's. I would like to order from some place close to save on the shipping but from what I have seen the shipping is about the same from most of the online stores.

Thanks

I plan on making a reef cleaners (https://www.reefcleaners.org/) order when I upgrade my setup in a month or so. There's a lot of good info on there and when I emailed asking a question, I got a response within 30 minutes (midday weekday).

The only thing is it looks like the packages aren't always a better choice than buying what you want and adding the shipping cost to that, and I think too many cleaners are recommended for a given size tank. I'm ordering about their 40 breeder equivalent for my 125.

I'd recommend the snail only packages and just having a very limited amount of crabs (if any) that you can get from your LFS.. Crabs tend to be little bullies (eat snails, knock stuff over,etc...)

Thanks foe the feedback.

How big is your tank? While www.reefcleaners.com might be the way to go, the CUC packages they offer can be overkill. You might be able to provide your tank just what it needs from the limited amount of invertebrates your LFS has. (along with a little elbow grease)

just ask your lfs to order some for you im sure they will be glad to help you get what you want!
