EXCITING NEW ADDITION ORDER NOW FOR SHIPPING THE WEEK OF 8/11/2025
WE GOT THE REEF!
Reef By Steele is dedicated to bringing you the best products at the lowest prices possible. We are excited to introduce our new targeted CUC (Clean Up Crew) tank packs. Starting at 25 gallons up to 300 gallons we have the right package to help you maintain a clear and clean tank. With three levels to choose from, you can target your tanks individual needs. Our packages include a variety of wild sourced species of various sizes, but to date our suppliers have been very good with providing viable animals vs tiny creatures you can barely see. Note that some species are smaller when fully grown, and therefore may seem small upon arrival. The Nassarius Vibex only grows to a maximum of 3/4" and we generally receive and ship snails around 3/8".
Our packages come in Standard, Premium and Extreme versions. Standard packages are snail only for those wishing to avoid hermits and crabs, these packages still help to remove most nuisance algae's including GHA (Green Hair Algae). Premium packages will be an assortment of snails and hermits for a more diverse range of attack, and will generally be more aggressive in hair algae removal than snail only. Extreme packages are our premier offering with snails, hermits, crabs and specialty additions such as urchins, stars, conchs and more.
We have invested time researching the proper mix of species and amounts to provide for the needs of various sizes of tanks, and can generate a custom package for you if you have specific needs and goals. However we do not offer substitutions within the packages listed. Each package will have a list of items, which we will follow when packaging as closely as possible, but we reserve the option of substituting similar products of equal or greater value in the event that we run short on a species listed.
Used in combination with our Copepod and Phyto Buffets, you can naturally achieve crystal clear glass and water, while sifting your sand bed with less maintenance providing more time to simply enjoy your reef.
EXPERIENCE THE STEELE ADVANTAGE
We generally ship Monday-Wednesday to avoid delays causing our products to sit in hot/cold trucks and warehouses over the weekend. Generally we ship CUC Tuesday and Wednesday to allow us to freshly harvest our cultured products as we do not store product. For this reason we evaluate remaining time after harvest and only collect and package CUC if we are sure we can box and ship the same day. We ship the majority of our product including CUC via UPS 2 day air, with almost 100% live arrival success, and most failures are due to shipping delays. Our CUC packages however will all ship FedEx Overnight included in the package price (no additional fees). However they do not combine with other product to qualify for free shipping as we have calculated size and weight of these packages to determine shipping cost. Other items purchased with the packages will ship 2 Day Air as long the price meets the $40 threshold. Customers can request a custom quote to add the products to their overnight order and pay only the difference in shipping fees.
Each package will have a list of species and quantities included, many from the following list. View them here-
