I have heard that not enough salt would cause the shells to sink.

This last collection of cysts has been particularly problematic to me 
as well. Good hatches though but there are lots of shells getting to 
my fry tanks.
I don't have a solution, I filter off the BBS and wash them and let 
shells separate. I am just dealing with cleaning the scum off the 
glass from the fry tanks a little more often.
