I had a site that some one sent me of a brine shrimp hatchery. It was made from a 2liter coke bottle and showed step by step how to remove the brine shrimp from the bottle. Also showed how to hook up the lines to the bottle.
Now I cn't find it so if some one know what I'm talking about or has a site I can use. Please let me know. I'm needing it by morning as my Orange Flash are almost free swimming and will be by morning. So I'll need to fed them soon. LOL My brine shrimp hatchery just ain't going to beable to keep up with them. I can tell you that now. LOL

Apisto ranch,
Did you get the site? I was wondering if you had could you send it to me.
It would sure make it easier in the long run. Using a large square tupperware dish with tank water from the SW, floating in one of the 29's with a airstone inside the container. But there has to be a simpler way, and if you found one would love to know about it.

For years when I ran 80 tanks I just used 2 - 1 gallon tanks and just added regular salt, teaspoon of eggs, airstone and had a 15watt bulb outside. Every day I siphoned out the eggs through a brine shrimp net and then just cleaned it out and started another batch. Did this for about 10 years. I always had frsh BBS to feed daily.
