Rollermonkey Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Got a package from John today. John always takes great care to make sure things are packed well in his packages: The barnacle clusters were wrapped in Korean newspapers and dish paper and precisely one styrofoam peanut for good measure. (Maybe he's trying to compete with Stevie's Swedish Fish in every box?) As usual, ordering six of anything results in a dozen or more of that species, and despite his protestations that it's in case of DOAs, every single snail wakes up instantly upon touching the tank water. (Seriously, the nerites all were shut in the bag but had foot fully extended in the time it took to get them from the waterline to set them on my rockwork, and then immediately grabbed hold. As often seems to be the case, not only can John not count, but he can't even identify species. There were three limpets in the bag of ten (35-ish) dwarf planaxis. Even though this was a 2-day ship (instead of overnight), the limpets also immediately grabbed the glass as soon as I placed them. I don't know how he stays in business, but as long as he is, I know exactly where my CUC will be coming from. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, of all I've heard that's where my cleaning crew is going to come from for my next tank. Link to comment

andi.rahl Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 ahaha thanks for the laugh, OP. I'll definitely be ordering from him when I have need of a larger cleanup crew. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 If you need a small CUC, just order one of each type you want. You'll probably get 1/2-dozen instead. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Just placed an order for a CUC. I ordered a little smaller so it'll even out some. LOL Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Reefcleaners.org and he does have a coupon code on there also so watch for it! Link to comment
civickm Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 They wandered into that tank, what can I tell you? John just did an order lets keep the tops open and hope some wander in and get shipped to me..... :D Link to comment
NirvanaandTool Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 He's the best. All my CUC comes from him. I usually buy a quick crew rated for a 20L and then split it between my two tanks with all the extras he throws in. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 John is actually Santa. ReefCleaners is just his side gig when it's not Christmas season yet. Link to comment

Sunar357 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Can't wait to get my CUC this week! Link to comment
kingsofke Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Great post and a great man. I have not seen a customer service like his ever. He probably gets 100s of orders a week and he is personally replying to all of them and Actually remembers what you talked to him about. Unbelievable. Awesome order, well satisfied, and already placing a second order within a week. What more you can say about a seller. Link to comment
