I've been looking at detritivores from Indo Pacific Sea Farms http://www.ipsf.com & Inland Aquatics http://www.inlandaquatics.com. I haven't made a purchase yet (got to change substrate first) but both places are friendly & knowledgeable.
Also "good quality live sand" should have detritifores in it.

Anyone know an on line store to buy a good ditrivor (sp) kit for a sand
bed. I want to buy some dry aragonite substrate seed it, then top it over
with some good quality live sand (total 3 in).
