I feed my tank Rotifiers.. does it help? I cannot say 100% yes.. but I am sure that the life in my tank enjoys having some roti's for lunch. I have seen some extra growth which might be attributed to the rotifiers.

I feed my tank rotifers as well, when they are available. I also feed my tank algae (Isochrysis galbana, or T-iso) when it is available as well (I get both from work). I'm with Chad on this one. I don't know if its doing any good but so far it isn't doing any bad

Wendel usually has Rotifers and algal paste for sale, reasonable prices and he'll show you how to set up for them. I think they are great, add them to your tank, any shrimp larvae will love them, lots of stuff will like them.
