Clean-up Crews?

I'm looking for someplace to get clean up crews and detritus eaters to replenish my display and stock a new sump in the near future. I love the selection at Indo-Pacific Farms, but they won't ship to Alaska! Is there anywhere else that sells bristle worms and especially mini brittle stars? I'd rather not pay for shipping for several pounds of live sand and rock that may or may not have what I want still living in it. And since I'm adding it to an existing system I really don't want to go through another cycle with partially cured rock.

Thanks.
Phil

    Here you can try this company. I don't know if they ship to Alaska, but you can email them to find out. They have a good selection of invertebrates and a good price.

    That's a tough one for sure. You should get something from Fiji to your area, and cut out the U.S. diversion.

    yeah, IPFS doesn't even do door sales, I thought I had a great excuse to visit Hawaii again.
    I'm still talking with them though, Alaska Air has Gold Streak service to Kona International, which is literally across the street from IPFS, so I'm trying to see if for a large enough order they'll ship it that way. If you're not familiar with Gold Streak, they put it on the next flight out, cargo or passenger. So if they ship from Kona in the morning, I'll be acclimating them that evening. Not cheap though.

    Man the things some of us take for granted. Good luck

    You could try Tampa Bay Saltwater. They are (obviously) Gulf of Mexico stuff, but I'm sure they will ship to you. Everything that I've read indicates that the guy that runs it is a stand up guy that has been around for a long time.

    Hey Phil. I'm up here with you in North Pole! I get all my CUC from www.Reefs2go.com Fast shipping and they are very good packers.

    Mr.X-Ray thanks! Looks like they've got most of what I want. Do they honor their free shipping specials to Alaska?

    Yes they do. Also, did you know about this? www.alaskafragswap.com ? I'm there under the same name. Most of them are Anchorage and MatSU but its a start.
