Jrp1917 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So I've been hatching brine shrimp for my fry. I've been using 1 TBS API aquarium salt per 1 liter water and I've been having no issues. I recently saw Instant ocean sea salt for sale and decided to pick it up and give it a try. I used the same ratio salt to water and had issues with hatching. Is there a problem using this salt for brine shrimp hatching or should I be using a different ratio? Thanks in advance for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I can't say what the proper ratio is. I can say what I use. I use 2 tablespoons of Instant Ocean per 1 liter of water and I am very happy with my hatch rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDukeAnumber1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Same ratio here, I use about 1 tablespoon to a half liter with success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) For 1-liter, we mix 3x tablespoons of API aquarium salt with and 1x tablespoon of eggs (we ordered 1-lb can from brine shrimp direct).

Streetwise Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) I did my second attempt with 1/4 teaspoon to feed about 45 gallons of tanks. It went well, but I think I need to downsize more. I wish I could run a continuous low-yield culture. Edited January 1, 2021 by Streetwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
