Good Brand of Salt


         Hi Killinuts!

               I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt. It has no additives.
                5 lb box at Foodlion or most grocery stores runs about
                $1.05 to $1.15. It is top quality and nearly always
                 available, and always the same grain size.

                I use only this salt and I get very good brine shrimp
               hatches from nearly all kinds of brine shrimp eggs.
                I have hatched Sanders, OSI, Premium and SF Bay
                 as well as other brands of eggs with no problems.

                Simple set-up. Take an empty three ( not two) liter
                soda pop bottle ( the kind that sells for 88 cents in
the
                store when full of the really cheap orange soda).  Add
                 3/4 cup of the Diamond salt, fill with tap water up to
                 just where the top of the bottle starts to curve or
bend
                 towards the spout and add a vigorously bubbling air
                 stone.  Add some BBS eggs. No additional heat or light
                 are necessary. { nice but not necessary!}

                 First hatchers ( very small shrimp) around 30 hrs (
this
                 varies a little depending on the temperature of your
                 house or the room the hatcher is in.) I feed three to
four
                 times from this hatcher and then re-start it. I have
two
                 hatchers going at all times so I have a constant source

                  of BBS.

                  I have used this set-up for many years and it has
never
                 failed me.
