Hatching Brine Shrimp

[weezawoo]

I have bought some Brine Shrimp eggs from ebay these ones
I want to use some for when I have fish in my tank so thought I would make some now and feed my trops them just to make sure I get used to how I do it lol!
My question is it says use sea salt or cooking salt, is sea salt the same as I will be adding to my tank? Or can I use my salt? It is coral pro that I have, was just a little worried if I did use it so wondered if anyone else hatches brine shrimps with it?

use the salt you use in your tank, you can get hatcheries that hang in your sump!

Thank you! I will use some of the salt, wasn't 100% sure on it

I am just using an old coke bottle and air pump atm just to see how it goes and how much I get from it. Could I just put a bottle in my sump with an airpump? Shouldnt cause problems I hope?

I will probably end up giving up in the end but its a little project to keep me going while Im still setting my tank up haha!

I might get that little kit if all goes well now

Thank you!
