Clean-up crews that we have for sale are specialized micro cleanup crews which encompasses smaller plankton like Copepods, Amphipods, and grass shrimp, which are essential for the saltwater eco system.

If you have old established live rock in your aquarium and want it to display all those vibrant colors that you see while diving on the wild reefs in the ocean,if you are tired of seeing your live rock look like a brown nondescript soot covered mass,and if you want your live rock to come back to life and start growing calcareous algae, or coraline algae growth that exhibits the beautiful rainbow of colors,just add one of these clean-up crew micro forage combos to your saltwater aquarium reef tank.

Amphipods emerge after lights are out. They will graze on the soot, slime algae, and hair algae that grows in the small crevices of your live rock. They clean where it's too confined for your snails and crabs to reach.

Amphipods will eliminate cyano bacteria or red slime algae on substrate, sand, gravel bed and live rock crevices.

You can't add too many amphipods to a reef tank aquarium.

Tisbe Copepods are the smallest of the plankton Copepods. They constantly graze on unwanted nuisance algae, hair algae and slime algae.

Tigger Pods copepods are the next sized micro clean-up crew that does the same job of cleaning your live rock and substrate, sand or gravel. Tigger Pods reach the tight areas where other traditional larger clean-up crew animals can't grasp.

Mysid shrimp are the next sized animal in the clean-up crew.

After Mysid, then comes grass shrimp which are the hardiest and easiest to keep. Grass shrimp will rid your tank of all the unwanted nuisance algae and detritus that builds up on your live rock. Grass shrimp or saltwater feeder shrimp, ghost shrimp will constantly graze on leftover food, fish waste and slime algae like cyano bacteria.

Set up a subscription for a monthly or a bi-weekly order of one of these clean-up crew combos. After a few weeks, you will be amazed at how well they clean your tank and maintain healthy live rock and substrate.
