Default greenwater + rotifer shopping list

Hey all. I'm ready to start trying to culture greenwater and rotifers. The ultimate goal is to get ready for when my clowns begin spawning eggs. Regardless of that ever happening (fingers crossed) I would still like to try to get a culture of rotifers going to dump in my tank and keep the corals happy.

Following the many articles on the net, I have my 2L bottles, 48" lights, air pump and gang valve, and some 10 gal tanks. I'll be ordering the following from floridia-aqua-farms.com :
1 MICRO ALGAE DISKS $ 8.50 AA-NCP...... Nanochloropsus, green,
non-motile 4 to 6 m diameter ............. 2 oz $ 8.50
1 MICRO ALGAE GROW™ $ 13.00 FA-MIL ............... Micro Grow 1 L
(2,000 L at f/2 level) ............................... 2.6 lbs $ 13.00
1 ROTIFER CULTURES $ 11.50 AB-R1(S or F) .... Lab cultured L Strain
Rotifer Cysts, 3-5000 cysts ............. 1 oz $ 11.50

Other than this shopping list and supplies if got already, does anyone have a suggestion to any other things I may find useful?

Thanks!
