Here at Reef Cleaners we stock high quality marine livestock at competitive prices. We pride ourselves on providing solutions to nuisance algae, and growing tips for beneficial and decorative algae. We want you to feel confident about our services and products. If you have a general question about your tank, please consider posting it in our support forum ,or by contacting us here.
ReefCleaners.org was started by two brothers, John and Joseph Maloney.
Both of us grew up in sunny South Florida and have enjoyed snorkeling and diving in the crystal clear waters there.
We were hobbyists before we became retailers, and understand how important the health of your tank is to you. All of our products 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.
We pride ourselves on delivering quality products and advice. If you have questions please let us know, we are here to help.
If you have a nuisance algae problem, but are not quite sure what nuisance you have, try our Nuisance Algae Guide , maybe it can point you in the right direction and allow us to better serve you. Alternatively feel free to contact us and we will work to ID your nuisance algae.
We follow and support environmentally friendly collection practices to ensure that the wonders we witness today are there for the generations to come. We only carry livestock that has been collected in a responsible manner by professionals within the United States that follow sound regulatory policy. We do not buy from products that originate from areas with a lack of regulatory oversight of the fishing industry. Additionally, we will never knowingly purchase livestock from any collector that uses trawls, rakes, or any other apparatus that causes damage the sea floor, or the substrate.
John was elected to the Ochlockonee River Soil and Water Conservation District that works to develop environmentally sound policies within Leon County. During his time on that board he worked on a project to re-align Lake Munson, fixing an error made in a previous project. The design advocated by the board will save an estimated 300 Cypress trees that serve as a habitat to countless fish and wildlife.

"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!"

"Received an order from [ReefCleaners] yesterday. As the others have said, great communication and excellent prices.
He added many extras of all the items I ordered that more than cover shipping costs and the unfortunate few losses.

"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]."
