Default rotifers and greenwater source?

Anybody know where in Vancouver one could pickup a rotifer starter culture and a greenwater starter culture. I already know about the rotifers at JnL.

Many Thanks

Raf

Default re algae and rotifers

You can use vivid reef for the rotifers. For the algae and instructions go to Flame Angels Reef http://www.sjwilson.net/reef/. I grow my own algae and should have a fresh batch next week. And ask James at OA.
