You guys are going to get me in trouble one of these days.

Glad you like the rock even though you don't like Sears!

You are going to be happy with the mud. There are some macro/seagrass fragments in the mud, (that aren't likely to take), don't worry about screening them out, they wont cause any damage to the system and will help the growth process. After you have it settled in and capped, you will see some nice growth from substrate planted macros and seagrasses I hope.

I feel better now. lol.

OOOOhhhh, I wanna hop on the bandwagon!

No personal experience with them, but I've never heard one bad thing about reefcleaners, and I anticipate adding to my CUC through them within the next couple weeks (after I decide what I want).

All of the positive reviews in this thread only help solidify my decision!

got my custom cuc, awesome, nothing dead and to be honest everything was in there about 8 hours longer then it needed to be. John made sure I didnt do anything stupid like leave chitons on the porch

Glad i got my chitons from john and when I need more macros, I'm going to be putting in another order.

Cool! I appreciate it and happy everything went well.

John

I know I'm late to the party, but........ +1,000,000,000,000,000 to TJ.

Thanks Lalani

Just got in another shipment from John! Went smoothly and everything is doing well.

Fuzzy Chiton!!!!

thanks again John!

oh great to hear. I got a phone call today saying I got a shipment from you as well, excited to go pick it up.

skydive by the way is a great trader, if you guys find yourselves wanting to trade with him, don't hesitate, the service is remarkable, sent me tracking emailed me a bunch of times, shipped on the day I needed him too, to an address I changed, very accommodating.

I don't think that there are words to describe how awesome reefcleaners are. Not only did I get hooked up with virgin nerites but I only ordered a couple of dwarf ceriths and I received about 30. Thank You

The nerites are destroying the algae on my acrylic and as soon as I dropped in the ceriths they either borrowed into the sand or started to work on the rocks.

Thanks again I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't even think twice about recommending reefcleaners to anyone who needs a cuc or some macro.

Just opened the box and WOW! This stuff is awesome, better than I was expecting. This is my 5th saltwater tank in the last 15 years I have had, and I'd rate this base rock, best ever. Thanks a million john, heres a pik.

-Mike

Thanks! Glad you like it. It stacks pretty well too I think you will find. Have fun putting it in place, if you are anything like me it will change 30-40 times.

john has grown on me like caulerpa on live rock

So your saying hes a pest that goes asexual sam HAHA only kidding

LULz jake

jokes aside, i'm impressed w/ his customer service from all the great feedback he's gotten. i haven't personally ordered but will in the near future when i eventually upgrade.

oh...you got jokes now jacobnano? I wish I did, (insert witty comeback here)

we should have some decent stock by then blue, this is the worst time for macros....weird too, the weather and the sea have both cooperated, but it still looks like fall down there...it will probably all bounce back right in time for the real fall weather...go figure.

My first experience with ReefCleaners was great, so I just ordered s'more. Mmmm...s'mores...

Thanks John!

What can I say

I should probably buy something from you John, I feel sorta left out. You should find me a cool chiton

are you implying my chitons aren't cool? You do have a point though...time for me to stop being so lazy and find a new colony of interesting critters.

i think we might offer a new algae next....caulerpa verticellata - can be highly invasive, but is cool in macro tanks...i don't know, worried someone might not read the disclaimer on the site....

No they are very cool, but you and I both know there are cooler one haha. I mean like start stocking pink ones or something else like that. I mean we all have coraline lol.

the nicer ones are in cooler waters for the most part..

Thats true

How often do you see special ones, basically the ones that aren't on your site?

never. we see some ugly larger species, (i forget their name), but none of the colorful ones like mrnherper had...trust me if I did y'all would know about it. (After I took a few for myself... )

Thats too bad, I guess that would make sense though, we do like colorful things.

I wonder if I need some sort of collectors license in WA, I would assume I do but we own the tidelands where I would get the stuff. Anyway, I can see it now: "Coldwater Reef Cleaners" haha.

you do need a collection permit, for some reason in the Pac NW they are really touchy about their inverts, but the fishing isn't limited much at all. I was talking with someone there, and this is probably old news, but you are limited to 6 inverts a day, even with the specialized license.

I just ordered again

I think that's the third order in two months. I evicted all the crabs except the anemone crab and needed replacements.....only snails from now on

Really? I know they cut back on rock cod, but that is a fish. Huh thats weird, I assume that doesn't include shellfish because I can keep them (and crab) with a normal shellfish and sea grass license. Well I guess I will go ask my dad, he probably knows anyway lol.

My order just shipped. Updated review to follow! So far great/fast replies to all of my inquiries.

it might have been oregon now that i think of it...i dont know much about it other than what a collector for coldwater species told me once...never looked it up or anything....

http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/shelfish/crabreg/o...eciesregs.shtml

10 seems to be the daily bag limit just by looking at it quick...seems to fall under the unclassified marine inverts section - commercial license probably different though


hope it works out!

Just saw the "name our business" thread.

Good luck with the new storefront John.

Thanks! I think the hardest part is picking a location. I was dead set on one, and then I was shown another property...I like that one too! One spot is in an area with heavy competition, (5 other reef stores within 6 miles, and a PETCO and a Pet Supermarket), and the other is in a spot with a 1 reef store, 1 store with a small SW section and and a PETCO and a Pet Supermarket....I would like it in the first location because it is a bit closer to where I live, (and my warehouse), but I don't know...tough call....one has a Publix as an anchor too....that is attractive....Maybe I should open 2 stores... (Probably not...)

I received another order from Reef Cleaners today and like always the service is great!

Thanks once again John, Chitons and Limpets are doing great!

Just open one in Ft Lauderdale and I'll be able to swing by every once in a while

Thanks Skydive!

Ft. Lauderdale is a cool place. I used to hang out by Las Olas back in the day.

just wanted to chime in on how great reefcleaners is! Couldnt ask for better service. The website is extremely unique/easy to use, response time is great. you could tell John truly takes pride in what he does and goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction. Will be ordering again soon!

Throwing in another positive transaction with John and Reef Cleaners. Ordered a 5 Nassarius and 20 Dwarf Ceriths. I think John just grabbed a handful of the dwarfs an threw them in the bag as I stopped counting after 40

Thanks again John. I know exactly where I'll be ordering all macros and cleaners in the future. Prices were perfect, shipping was excellent and affordable, and service was great.

-Adam

great to here! I can count, I have no idea what all these rumors are about.

True story, happened to me.

I just got my shipment from John and oh boy was it great! I quit counting too, because there were just so darn many! John is an awesome shipper and he's got another happy customer!



It's OK John. I'm sure you know how to count, but we're all glad that you forget sometimes!

Thanks John, for the excellent shipment!

Thanks! Apparently I am not very good with words though, I have been "hereing" those rumors too.

I was going to let that slide if you hadn't mentioned it.

I wanted to throw in another positive review for ReefCleaners. John took time to update me on all stages of my order, and not just through his automated order system, but with actual comments emailed to me in a very timely manner. This is way above and beyond any online order I have placed. On top of that, I ordered just 6 snails and received over 30! Haha!! Same story as everyone else, but I just think that is so cool. My mangroves are starting to shoot out roots already and I'm super happy with the transaction overall.

I don't know why but I am super sloppy on the net. I think about 90% of my posts have glaring typos/errors etc... I was going to run a "find the typo" contest...but I couldn't afford it.

Great to hear it worked out Phorensic! Keep the top of the mangroves misted and the leaves will follow quicker, but the root development comes first,and is more important.

Reef Cleaners is GREAT AAAAAAA+++++++
John has put up with alot of questions from me:)
i ordered their rock and it was great, so i ordered me CUC with them:)
Great seller,
Thank you John!!!!

Thanks! Better to ask the questions before rather than after I say.
