I have recently set up 3 reef tanks (90,90 and 75). I need to order a lot of clean up crew livestock. I would appreciate all suggestions on good online dealers of clean up crews who have quality livestock and fair prices. I would also appreciate everyones opinions on what combination of livestock has worked well and what quantity of each you would suggest per gallon. Thanks!
 
+2. Excellent prices and customer service. They have a "quick cleanup crew" section so you can order for your specific sizes of tanks.
 
As for what to get I am a huge fan of red leg hermits, I would add 20 per tank and then just watch them and see how they do, if it seems you need more then add them later.
 
scarelet, red leg, and blue leg hermits (that is if you want crabs) , margarita snails, dwarf cerith snails, nassarious snails (sand sifters), nerite snails,

all those are direct from the list from reefcleaners.org, or you can buy one of there package deals they ahve for different tank sizes
 
I also love reefcleaners. They have a custom clean up crew section where you can give the specifics of your tank and he sends back suggestions.
I usually order snails from and buy crabs locally to save on shipping. I believe he offers free shipping on all of his quick crews.
