ok can any one help me with hatching brine i have looked and looked and i cant really find much besides that fry need them to surive. so i got a set up from my LFS which consists of a ten gallon fish tank two big jars, heart, and a air pump. i was told to fill the fish tank up a 1/4 of the way or so put the jars in the water with water in the jars as well. next warm the water to about 80F and put 1/4 tsp of marine salt in the jars and then put a 1/4 tsp of brine shrimp o and there is air stones in the jars. now i was told to wait 24 to 48 hours and they are ready. then the shells sit on the top of the water and the shrimp sit on the bottom of the jar and you just use a siphon to get the shrimp. so im not really sure if that is the right process. So is the hatchery on brine shrimp direct the way to go. if anyone could help me with your experience that would be great. thank you.
 
get a two liter cut it in half, invert the top half into the bottom. So that the bottom holds the top.
the reason you do this is so all the eggs concentrate into on spot, to give them adequate flow.
put a airstone in the middle of the inverted bottle half.
 
use one tablespoon of salt per 1/2 gallon. the brine shrimp need light to hatch i think.
