Ah ok I need a cheap hammer or torch to make sure the BJD that I lost all my previous ones I had before to doesn't come back.
 
Aw man, I just blew my budget on a new set of RODI filters and membrane, and a brine shrimp hatchery.
Which brine shrimp hatchery did you get? I have been thinking about getting one.

I got this one from BRS. It is actually a German one and supposedly the easiest to use.

Let me know how you like it when you get it! It looks interesting and I like that it keeps the egg shells separate.
 
I dunno... I always used a jar and an air stone as a brine shrimp hatchery. It was pretty easy. Of course, me being me I didn't try to separate the egg shells and just dumped the jar in...

I have always read you should separate them but I never really understood why. I mean don't the fish eat the eggs in the wild?

Probably? I think you really only would need to separate the shells if you're using them for baby fish since they'd be difficult to digest.
 
Doing well! Very exhausting lol. His brother's super jealous sharing momma, but he loves his brother!
Good to see you Mike! Glad yall are doing good my friend

I can't stand the noise f even the 'quiet' air pumps. This thing supposedly doesn't need an airstone.
