So recently I have been running low on nanno and T-iso so I tried feeding my rotifers Phytoplan (http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~action~view~idProduct~TL3131~idCategory~FIFDDRPP~category~Phytoplanktons-Dry-Food-Saltwater_Aquarium_Supplies~vendor~.html)
When I look at them under 10X they have brown somachs so I am guessing they are eating it. Has anyone fed their rotifers with this or something similar? I'm not really sure how much and how often to feed them this so if anyone has any advice that would be great. Thanks.

Tagging along. Might be worth having around in a pinch. Keep us posted on rotifer density. What are you feeding the rotifers to ?

I used Kent Phtyoplex in a pinch and it worked. But it fouled the tank up fast.

How much and how often did you feed this.
agsansoo: I am feeding them to Maroon clownfish fry. However I have noticed that unless the rotifers are enriched with nanno or iso before feeding to the fry then the fry don't do so well.

The same as phyto whenever the water seemed to clear I added a little more. However I think most of it settled out or something. I seemed to work but not very well.
