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

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.
