Brine shrimp (and micro worms) are also pretty sensitive to copper.
Depending on the source water the town uses, we can get readings as
high as 7ppm. It took a few weeks for another fish friend and I to
figure out what was going on since he too was having problems hatching
BBS.
Now we use distilled water and no more problems.

I have found on a couple of occasions that temps over 84 resulted in
shrimp egg juice. Little annoyances that you have to adjust to.
