Which means, once the paperwork is finalized in Tallahassee and sent back, I will be able to collect a wide assortment of odd inverts, and algae.

For the invert crowd, new cleaners will be added to the site, as well as an odd inverts section. The Odd Inverts will either have limited uses in cleaning reef tanks, or would be great cleaners if they weren't "reef safe with caution", or not reef safe at all. Pincushion urchins for example, which we consider to be too careless a cleaner to keep in reefs, will be in this section. Coloring will be awesome, (and custom for the patient), but if it is tearing up your tank looking for camo then I might get complaints..:) Decorator crabs, who might frag your Captain Crunch zoa for a new hat will be available from time to time as well. Other seasonal species will include micro sized decorators and anemone crabs which won't pose a threat, but won't have much cleaning effect.

On the algae front, quality and reliability should greatly increase, at least during the better parts of the year. Want a mermaid fan the size of your head? Yeah we can get you that. Want a pencil cap as a tall 10 inch hitching post in that 100 gallon seahorse tank? Can do. A halimeda clump 16 inches in diameter? I can put you on the short list. Caulerpa in much greater size, quality and selection? Absolutely. Do you guys carry hard to find in stores coralline algae? Soon enough. :)

Anything bad about the changes?
I will be away for a few days every other week, roaming different spots soon. This will cause email reply "blackout" dates. Notices will be placed on the website prior to and during my departure from the keyboard.
At some point I will find some extra help to run the website and reply to emails, but for now I feel better micro-managing.

Locals will have to wait a while for a retail store, this opportunity has delayed that venture. ]]> Reefcleaners johnmaloney http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/reefcleaners/52618-big-news.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/reefcleaners/51555-name-our-business.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:09:48 GMT We are looking to leave our warehouse and move into a normal brick and mortar retail store by the end of the year. Reef Cleaners is a good (enough) name for what we do on the net, but the store will have all types of saltwater life, so we have to do some name changes we feel to go full service. Name our business, and get a free custom crew in your tank - FOR 5 YEARS. (Shipping excluded)

Rules:

1. This will be posted on many different forums - the first person to give us the name in the event of a duplicate name is the winner.

2. Cannot violate trademarks... we may also offer a tank cleaning service, so we would prefer no overlapping servicemarks.

3. Not a rule, but we greatly prefer names that don't mention the word "aquatic"

That is about it.

Oh..one last thing...these names are not up for grabs:
