RE: Brine shrimp question

["Morris, George" <gmorris at kester_com>]

I recently started recycling my brine, dumping it into a bucket with a
sponge filter and reusing it.  After a couple of weeks I started to see the
same thing and was puzzled until I ran a nitrite test on the bucket.  It was
off the scale.  I'm back to throwing the brine out every day until the
bucket settles down.

  Well folks after nearly 40 years of keeping fish. Today I came across a
new problem. My baby brine shrimp eggs are hatching out in 24 hours or less
but instead of having baby brine shrimp I have an orange color fluff, which
I guess is dead brine shrimp, but why are they dying so fast? The water is
not overly foul. Any body ever have this problem???/
