For me, using Fritz RPM salt makes a huge difference. I use 2 tablespoons, I don't dechlorinate the water. My fish room is heated so it runs at about 75 degrees, takes 20 hours to hatch. There is a huge range in egg quality and how you store them. Once the container is opened, you want to limit the amount of humidity and oxygen you expose the eggs to. So using a smaller container to pull eggs from, keeping them in the fridge helps.
We'll be launching our own brine shrimp eggs, but we are waiting for FDA approval to bring them in. The hatch rate and egg separation is the best that Randy, Dean, and myself have used/tested.

Cory,
I want to make sure I'm not breaking any rules. I've been asked to recommend some camera gear, and I posted a couple of links to Amazon (although the links I posted don't seem to be active), and want to make sure this is OK. I have a desire to help, but want to make sure I'm operating within the guidelines of the forum.
Thanks again for everything you do for the hobby!
David
For now that would be fine, I think a lot of links wont be "active" until we set them up. Also just for anyone reading, affiliate links aren't allowed.

I'd make sure I check current parameters in the tanks. Do you know if they are using salt around the well to soften the water?

I would recommend cleaning it. It sounds like something is built up where air is entering probably at the bottom diffusion ring.

Well it's kind of like a currency. If everyone simply leaves a reaction to everything, reactions no longer mean anything.

Usually they can get to like an inch.

Welcome Hutch, gave you mod status here 😉

This network and server administrator loves seeing well-designed systems.
A cool Coop video would be to follow a forum member's order all the way thru the process and warehouse.
I can make that happen once Jimmy gets back to Washington.

In my opinion it's a myth that only baby brine are nutritious. Otherwise frozen brine shrimp wouldn't exist. baby brine become less nutritious as they grow, so say you hatch them out and they are 24 hours old. at 48 hours, they've only lost nutrients cause they haven't eaten.. This is where the myth comes from. if you feed/grow brine shrimp they are as nutritious as anything else. A case can be made that baby brine are very packed with nutrients. However it takes a ton of brine shrimp to feed big fish. I plan to feed these to adult apistos, african cichlids, platies, guppies, mollies. I plan to feed them green water, yeast, maybe some crushed up flake into power and such. They're filter feeders so will eat whatever is suspended in the water.

No plans currently to do anything like that. Everything takes oversight and building. This is the same reason why we don't do 20 other tasks. We target what we want to work on carefully as 100 projects done poorly is worse than 1 done well.
A project like this is literally just recreating aquabid, they have a review system, a forum, etc. All breeders could post there if they want to and I do champion for aquabid because I believe it is a good space to accomplish that. -
I would guess dean has actual data. I myself just know that they don't feed nearly the same rate also I find live baby brine to be cheaper than frozen baby brine even at wholesale for me.

Nice, I like the island setup. I need to try that in some smaller tanks.

Bricks seems smart, I wonder if the bricks release some heat to keep it more stable temps at night.

Brought some plants home for the 800g. I think I’m starting to plant it Thursday. 50 crypt wendtii red and 25 cal so far.

Soon he will get to see lady bird also

Has the General cure had any effect yet?

Snapped a couple pics, sponge filters switching over to their new branded boxes. Not all sizes have the new boxes leaving the warehouse yet.

My advice is to always, step back and make sure we aren't jumping to conclusion. When a person sees something new, they assume it's the culprit. It could be. However I've found that a majority of the time, it's a water parameter issue with snails instead of whatever these creatures are. What is your current pH, and hardness testing at? I am for at least 7.2 when it comes to snails and a moderate hardness.
They don't look like planeria to me, but also don't look like leeches, I'm not sure what they are. They have an equal chance of being beneficial as they do detrimental in my opinion. -
This thread is a great example of what I hope to accomplish with this forum. This will serve as an information source for many forum goers to come. This is what I was able to test for myself when bringing the product to market, but never got the time to do a write up, or video etc. Plus I like to see that our new upgraded usb adapter is powering. In my previous tests I used a build in charger/adapter to accomplish this but you get twice as much run time as my setup was. Nice work!

Cory I know that you are not a fan of Universal Rocks.
The only other legitimate competitor that I know of is Aquadecor.
Besides how expensive Aquadecor is there any other reason you don't use their products?
I ask because I am planning on getting a background from Aquadecor.
The only real reason I have is, the few times I reached out, I never got back quotes or anything. There's only so many times I'll try to buy something from a company before moving on.

I'd try some rice fish in that big pond, perhaps you can place a lilly or two away from the edges, the rice fish can lay their eggs there and maybe some babies will be smart enough to stay near the plant.

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately we don't ship live fish. Our stock lists are for our retail store customers. They are posted once when the shipment comes in and not updated after that. If you're looking to purchase live fish and live outside of Washington state, you can get more information from our web page on sources to buy fish. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/pages/live-fish

I have moved this to the general section.

Great point! Someone should invite Aqua Huna to post their updates here as well...
At this time we have no plans to have other vendors post their stock lists on our website. This should be accomplished through their own website.

I also like to put a piece of scrap acrylic under stands for home use, in case you get water on the floor, the metal doesn't sit in it and rust. Can also help rust marks from developing on concrete on a garage and such.
