Welcome to Reef Cleaners!
Since 2008 we have specialized in algae eating invertebrates and natural filtration for saltwater aquariums, allowing us to build specialized knowledge of these species and solutions for your aquarium.
We were hobbyists before we became retailers, and understand how important the health of your tank is to you. All of the species we carry are reef safe, and include cautionary instructions where applicable. We adhere to strict quarantine procedures to ensure unwanted pests do not take hold in your tank when dipping isn't adequate. All of our systems are free of fish, and fish disease. We pride ourselves on delivering quality specimens and advice. If you have questions please let us know, we are here to help.
Not sure what algae you're dealing with? Try our Nuisance Algae Guide , to diagnose the problem. Alternatively feel free to contact us and we will work to ID and solve your algae problem.
We sincerely hope you will enjoy this website and our services.
All of our livestock is reef safe in the sense that coral is not on the diet of any of the creatures we carry. However, this does not mean the particular invert is compatible with your system. Please read all item descriptions, and when in doubt contact us.

"I received my rock today! It looks awesome and i am very happy with it! The shapes, crevices, and holes will look great once i get it in the tank. It also seems very easy to build with and am thinking i won't even need apoxy. Aside from the neighbor's kid wondering why the entire family was ooooing and ahhhhing over a box of rocks, it was smooth sailing!"

"I get an amazing deal from www.reefcleaners.org. My last $100 was amazing. I've got 30 mangrove plants, about 30 pods, and about 400 snails. Was very pleased with the last order. So if you wish to get in on a deal worth $1,000 at most retailers and online [this is the place]."

"John and the ReefCleaners.org crew have been great to work with. They helped me through the process of selecting a custom option for my specific saltwater tank and its inhabitants. I would recommend everyone I know to visit the website and use his expertise to find a solution perfect for your own needs. In the internet age, it is nice to work with a company that strives for customer service and succeeds with flying colors."

"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that I continue to be impressed with everything I order from your company. I have ordered livestock in the past, and it was all amazing. The recent rock order continues to be fantastic. It is everything I had hoped it could be, with a great mix of shapes and sizes. Thank you for offering a great product at a reasonable price. This will make starting my new tank easy."
