Ged Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Can you describe the setup you are using? Is it a DIY type or a commercial version. This will assist in diagnosing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoMan Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 hiits not a problem it works welljust weird i think its because in the garage i have only 1 light on the celling and thats why they get attracted to the top.It is a DIY 1.25lt bottle with air line going in the bottom(cap)cheersstill need advise on brine shrimp egg brands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chorrylan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I've been using these lately: http://www.primo.net.au/?page=detail&id=103&ref=catlist&refid=1Haven't been able to work out an effective way to utilize the magnetic cyst separation but I've never ever had better hatch rates.Hatching is in one of these: http://www.jehmco.com/BSHL3BW_10045a-500p.jpgFrom http://www.jehmco.com/html/brine_shrimp_hatcheries.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requires use of the SEP-Art Separator tube with strong magnets which attract the iron coated shells leaving pure clean naups after harvest. 280,000 naups/gram cysts.or will work like normal cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
