Seeding Microfauna

[Fourtwenny]

Hi. My 55 column just finished cycling after a 9 month hiatus. While it was down, I pretty much sterilized my rock and sand with muriatic acid and bleach. Now that I'm running again, I'm looking for a source of micro brittle stars and worms and such. Does anybody sell "reliable" tank seeders (even a couple scoops of established sand)? The live rock at the stores around me (Palos Heights area) don't appear to have much going on, and are running bare bottom. Bonus points for a local source for macroalgae esp chaeto.

You might have better luck with a fellow hobbyist but give Dave a shout at Aqua Pros in Glen Ellyn
