Where else to order? (to get my DSB and fuge going)

[Teremei]

I've got a 2 1/2 week old 125 (Finally got it going YES!) and the diatom bloom is just starting. I have a DSB and 160# of beautiful marshall and fiji. It's already got some soft corals in it. So far I've got. .

-2 cups of Rod's sand
-3# of PA "crude" (fuge)
- Chaeto ball from my old tank (fuge)
- Bubble algea (rod's good kind) (fuge)
- Some rock grabbing stuff that looks like short leaf prolifera from PL Naperville (fuge)

I'm looking for some stuff to "seed" my DSB as well as stuff packed full of life for my fuge. I'm about to order 3# of Bill's sand from Bill's reef along with some gracilaria and Ulva from him, for my fuge. I plan get a bottle of tigger pods and bottle of ocean pods for my sump. And maybe some live rock rubble from SeaCrop. I feel I'm getting this stuff from people and companies who have healthy tanks. Any other ideas?

How much was the starter kit and what did you recieve? Their pricelist notes it as "$70". And as you see it says

- Mysis Shrimp
- Gammuras Shrimp (amphipods)
- Other copepods
- Mini brittle stars
- Bristle worms

and says some micro stars and stometella snails may be included. May I ask as to what you got? Did you get any of those little snails that breed like crazy? (stometella).

I got the detrivore kit and I paid $70 for it and I received everything on the list as shown they bag every thing individually
so you see every thing you getting some of it is very hard to see . very well packaged and a very knowledgable staff.
Rod told me about them

I'll probably order from them. Thanks. So in the bag with the amphipods. How many amphipods do you think you got, and was there any algea in there for them to feel comfortable in the bag during shipment? I've submited a question to them, but I would love some personal opinions about what you got. Is your fuge bursting with pod activity thanks to them?

I don't have my refusurge any more but, a short while after I added the kit
you could easily see pods and shrimps everywhere all the time
they didn't ship them with any macro but I'm sure you could have them add some
