Re: [Killietalk] Brine shrimp water salt

David - Leave it alone through the winter. It's unlikely to freeze solid 
enough to damage the container. The shrimp will come back in the spring. And 
IF it should crack during winter, it will probably leak slowly, so it's 
unlikely to do much damage. To help it stay warm, you could add a clear 
plastic cover.
