Whenever my clowns start to lay eggs I would like to try and breed them. I have read both articles and pages on the intrenet. I would use a small 5 gallon when they are young. I would use a 10 gallon tank with a sponge filter or in the tank filter for when they are older. I could set up a tank for the rotifers and feed them already made green water. I would like this project to not go over $60. I also would like to know what I need to make rotifers and everything.

you could try it, but i don't think i'd count on much success.
keeping up a phyto/rotifer culture station isn't difficult, it just takes a regular schedule. the book stevebla mentioned covers it in an easy to understand manner.
you'd need an air pump, air line, gang valve to split the air lines out to the individual cultures, two liter bottles and/or old buckets, a source to start your cultures with, a screen of some sort (i use 100 and 53 micron screens) for separating the rots from their culture water when you feed them to the larva...and a regular schedule to take care of the above. it's not overly time consuming, it's just something that will need at least every-other-day attention for a few minutes.
