What recipes are people hatching their shrimp at? Temp?

I use approximately 1 liter to hatch 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of eggs with about
a tablespoon of Salt.

Best fishes

><{{{>Some eggs are better than olthers.

><{{{>Is it posible your room was warmer previously?
><{{{>Mine normally hatch best at 80-82f.
><{{{>I never use more than a teaspoon per gallon.
><{{{>Sometimes a newer finer mist airstone is the culprit.
><{{{>Sometimes the water is lower pH from the source in municipal.

><{{{>Some leave eggs in freshwater too long before adding salt.
><{{{>I have found Ocean Nutrition nitrogen pack eggs the very best.
><{{{>But hatch changes if they get too warm (even as an egg).
><{{{>I don't ship common carrier in hot summer months.
><{{{>Heat can definately weaken an eggs hatched months later.
><{{{>If possible check 'alkalinity'; of low boost.
><{{{>Normally survival is better at 8.4 than only 8.0 pH.
