Think I responded to you earlier....check out IPSF.com.....they are awesome.....i ordered the tang heaven collection from them....oh my god....they sent me so much.....my fishes are so happy that they are kissin each other......Its the best place i could find for any caulerpa....you may also order the pods collection for detritus problems.....again they sent me so much of them...i cant keep count....

They are located in hawaii and i am pretty sure they supply to canada also.....For other stuff...check out ffexpress............

Sorry i do not know any locations in Canada.....I live in NY.

Good luck....

Hi Venaman,

Sorry, but I don't know of any U.S. vendors willing to ship livestock to Canada because of the cost of compliance with Customs and CITES and potential delays. IPSF and Inland Aquatics are two suppliers of detrivore kits down here but they don't ship to Canada.

Here are a few Canadian suppliers. See if they have what you are looking for:

Good luck,

some have caulerpa but they dont have detrivore kits. .
detrivore kits are basically just sand sifters all in a kit right?

i can just buy them seperately can't I?

A detrivore is an animal that eats detritus: amphipods, copepods, spaghetti worms, bristleworms, mini stars, regular stars, etc.

Have you asked on any of the Canadian boards? Are you registered on any Canadian board? www.canreef.com

and like how much of each

I don't know what is available up there. Maybe one of our Canadian members will see this thread and help you out. One of the moderators of that Canadian board is a member here, too.

In general, you are interested in having a diverse population of sand bed infauna to support a healthy deep sand bed. As far as snails, maybe hermit crabs, mini stars and possibly one of the detritus and film algae eating stars (Linckia and Fromia spp.) are concerned, you want to add them gradually as your tank is ready for them.

Hopefully one of our Canadian members will help you out here... I sent out an e-mail asking for advice.
