whos hungry, ill be hatching brine shrimp just setup a mini bow 2.5 gallon with a 60watt bullb...the bulb stays fairly cool, which is good, and i have lots of aeration, ph set to 8.0 and this is a pretty cool setup if you ask me, the kid will love it...also i have a internal carbon filter so when the shrimp hatch ill do a water change, turn the filter on and the water should be cleaned thoroughly for the next batch....wont have to wworry too much about bad bacterial growth, since the lights will only be on certain times and the use of a carbon filter...i used live rock and rock i had in my sump, and they were covered in critters and bugs you cold see them run around, it was kinda cool, now all i need is some red macro and ill be doing just fine with this setup...ill keep you all posted...,if this doesnt work well, i have to get decapsulated type then scoop the shrimp with a net, since they go towards the lights..and these the shells float to top and the shrimp also go towards the lightsi also have a 2.5 hex with the lights already in the bottom, i could always do that.....but i think ill just stick to decapsulated type shrimp....so i can keep the minibow

well the shrimp hatched and all the shells went all to one corner which makes it nice to scoop out these shrimp....now my question is should i let them grow to be bigger or shall i feed my fish right away...i have 2.5 gallons of them, so i have plenty to spare....
