Growing rotifers,phytoplankton and pods in home

[reefstarter]

I have been reading up online about this and wondered if anyone was doing it that wouldn't mind showing me how . One way or another I will be doing this to feed my tanks and maybe even be able to provide some for other reefers . Let me know Thanks

Talk to Michelle, she did it for a couple years, when she was breeding clowns and seahorses.

I'm going to follow along with this thread. I am kind of surprised there is not an ongoing thread of this subject. I am also very interested in growing rotifers and copepods for feeding my fish and helping out other reefers who may need them. I believe I have a good cool basement with ample sunlight for growing them.
Is there anyone who has a culture growing , or knows of where to buy phyopaste and cultures .I would certainly be interested, let me know

5 or 6 Years ago when I had baby clown fish I got everything I needed from them.
They also sell a kit . http://florida-aqua-farms.com/shop/mini-culture-kit/
