Salinity - 20 - 30 parts per thousand ppt salt solution or approximately tablespoons of rock salt per quart or liter of water. This equates to around 1. Lowering the temperature would result in a longer hatching time. Light - Illumination is necessary to trigger the hatching mechanism within the embryo within the first few hours of incubation. Maintaining a light source during the entire incubation period is recommended to obtain optimum hatch results and for temperature control.
Aeration - Constant aeration is also necessary to provide sufficient oxygen levels for the cysts to metabolize and hatch. A minimum of 3 parts per million dissolved oxygen during the incubation is recommended. Strong aeration will not damage or hurt the brine shrimp cysts or nauplii. If pH drops below 7. Stocking Density - 2 grams per quart or approximately one level teaspoon of cysts per quart is recommended.

If you are feeding many tanks, it may be easier to use the included pipette or a no-drip turkey baster to portion out the liquid. Thoroughly rinse the blender and the lid after every hatching because rotting eggs and bacterial buildup will pollute the water.
Wash out all the old eggs and salt deposits with hot water, and now your setup is ready to hatch another batch of brine shrimp eggs. Learn More. Subscribe Get weekly aquarium blog articles right in your inbox. Email address Subscribe. Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery.
