Brine shrimp hatchery

[Tom the bomb]

I recently decided to hatch brine shrimp
I bought an incubator and attached an air pump to it.
Added 3 tsp of salt, 500 ml of water, 1-2 tsp of eggs and Seachem prime.
The temp is around the temp for tropical tanks.
Is the salt amount ok?
How long will it take to hatch?
How much air flow should I have? (can adjust on pump. It is now at max)

1 liter use 2 Tablespoons. I recommend you watch the a video on YouTube that I have found extremely helpful. This video worth the 20 mins. You will learn a lot of things. I personally just finished making up a home-made system tonight and I'm pleased with the results. I based a lot of information off of this video. If you are interested in specifically the amount of salt, I have identified the point in the video that this is mentioned. Here's the link to the video if you wish to jump straight there, but I recommend you watch the whole thing.

Prime not necessary. I wouldn't bother.

Yes aquarium salt can be used to hatch Brine Shrimp eggs.

I used a one part salt to one part brine shrimp at room temp I never used prime or baking soda. Air should be just enough to tumble the eggs but not too fast. I would run two hatcheries, three days apart. After three days the brine shrimp would die off and the fry wouldn’t be interested in the dead brine.
