J-Dog Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So what does everyone recommend for a good clean-up-crew? I'm starting to get some algae growth on the rocks and walls of my tank, and want to stay ahead of the game before this stuff explodes. Let me know what u guys like for CUC members and what u would recommend on how many I should get. Here is the link to my build if u want specifics on my setup..... http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?31699-J-Dog-s-NEW-60x30x24-BUILD&highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 My best suggestion would be these guys http://reefcleaners.org/ If you shoot them an email with what size tank, kind of algae, sand bed, etc. John is very good at recommending what clean up crew you need. He sends a ton of extras to make up for any deaths but there never is so you end up with a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into reefcleaners, but they recommend a lot more snails then I think I need, plus the price was really high (including shipping). That's why I wanted to ask the PNWMAS members what they thought, then I could compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I would just put in a few of each at a time and see how they do, you can always add more. If you start seeing empty shells then you have plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 180g (I think that's you tank size) quick crew with free shipping is $139. I am honestly asking as I was going to place another order with them but might not if I can support a local business. But I do agree....That's a ton of snails! (laugh) Tagging along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnkrcklives Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thats a good price. Should do a good job as well. If they are lacking in an area you could just pickup some stuff locally. Garret down in Salem usually has a good clean up crew selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the link I listed was plenty for my size tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
