Another one of those "probably should have asked this first" questions...
So the brine shrimpies hatched! I did the whole strain and rinse thing, then I put just enough RODI water in the "net" to suck all of them up with a syringe! I put half of them back in a little bowl (because I don't want to overfeed) and the rest... into the tank!
It was really cool watching them under the moon lighting. Like fireflies.
The question I have Rob... you said you fed your tanks this way to feed the corals. Pretty much everything in my tank is asleep right now. Did I just waste the shot? Clearly some will stay in the water column, but many will be heading for my filter as well. Will this create a decay problem?
Or as usual, am I just worrying too much?
Anyhow, it was a fun little project. And the hatch was pretty much 36 hours on the nose. Next time I need to do it so they hatch during the day and my son can see it. He'd get a kick out of seeing that.
Two thumbs up! Hopefully I'll have as much luck with phyto!
