see sticky thread attached to top of this forum entitled "microfoods". it contains a number of articles for home culture of microfoods
This includes rotifers, brine shrimp nauplii, and phytoplanktons

Here's my opinion.
I would buy live rotifers from Reed Mariculture. I would also buy a product called RotiGrow Plus from them to feed the rotifers.
You'll also need a mesh sieve to collect the rotifers. I like the type sold by Florida Aqua Farms because it's handy.
You'll need an air pump, tubing, and airstones to aerate the rotifers.
