If you have very low mineral content water, salt will drive the pH down and
you will get orange slime not baby brine shrimp.  Always add about a half
teaspoon of baking soda(Arm & Hammer) to a two liter bottle of water along
with a heaping tablespoon of salt.  If you have a feed store nearby they
sometimes carry "Tanning Salt" which is just non iodized pure Na-Cl
salt-goes for less than $10 an 80 pound sack.  I hatch a heaping teaspoon of
eggs per two liter bottle in 24 hrs at 80 degrees with light on the whole
time
