    So, I am planning on placing an order for a clean up crew for my 135 gallon tank. Not certain where from yet. But leaning on reeftopia or reefcleaners just not certain yet. If you want in on the order let me know. Not in a huge rush but would like to order by next week.

    Let me know.

    I was thinking about this as well. If we have enough for free shipping, I'll get something, though probably not alot.

    I don't think it will be too hard to get to the free shipping. Especially if we have a couple people looking to get in on the order.

    reeftopia & keyscritters .com both have been good to deal with for me. Reeftopia seems to have more deals/flexibility in my experience as long as they have what you want in stock.

    Alright, well, there looks like there is quite a lot of interest in getting some CUC. I anticipate I will need to order again in a month or so. My tank is not quite ready for all my CUC. So, I will be adding it in stages. So, maybe we can try Reeftopia.com for this order. Been pleased with them in the past. I think I will be looking to place the order a week from tomorrow (Thursday) so we get everything in the mail on Friday (the 11th) early afternoon. Hopefully this will give you a bit of time to get it organized. I will need to know what everyone wants by Wednesday evening. Once we have everything organized, I think the easiest is to use paypal for the money. If there is a problem with that let me know, we could work something out.

    So, unless there is any objection, go to reeftopia.com check out what they got and post here what you want. I will put it all together and order it next week. Just let me know.

    I personally love reefcleaners. They always send more than you ask for and they have great prices. I have no experience with the other sites mentioned, but I've heard good things.

    Reefcleaners and Reeftopia seem to offer different cleaners. Lets do reeftopia now and in a month, I will organize the reefcleaners order. So, take a look at both and decide what you want from both. Then we can order one now and then do the second order in a month.

    I just looked at both sites and reefcleaners seem to have the best prices. They also explain how they handle group buys which seems pretty painless for the organizer. I think I will get the bulk of my stuff from reefcleaners in a month but for this order I will get the items below.

    2 peppermint shrimp=6.00
    12 nassarius vibex= 10.00

    Thanks for getting this pulled together!
