What can I say? It works. Within 12 hours the container was buzzing with life. Fish loved it. refilled with fresh water and recapped and with the next 12 hours was able to feed again. Makes a great treat and my kids loved being able to see them under a magnifying glass. Came with 3 packets so I think I might save them for the kids sleep over so others can try the cycle as well.

I have an ongoing brine shrimp grow out tank, but brine shrimp eggs laid in the tank can't hatch because their eggs need to dry out before they will hatch. Dumping dried eggs into my grow tank creates a huge mess that is difficult to clean up once the fry dump their shells. So having a hatchery is a must! This hatchery is clean, easy to use, and it works well. It even comes with pre-made packets of salt and eggs, so all you need to do is add the water up to an easy to see fill line, put the lid on, and then leave it in a warm location for 24 hours (the warmer the room, the faster the hatch- but not in the sun or above 80F). This hatchery is about as tall as my hand and as wide as my palm, so it fits pretty much anywhere. Once the shrimp hatch they swim up into the collection cup- so when you're ready you just pop it off and either feed them to your fish or add the fry to the grow out tank. The whole thing is easy to clean when you're done and easy to store until the next time you need it.

Amazingly enough, I got the package yesterday and followed the instructions to see if 24 hours later I'd have some baby-brine.
24 hours later I come home from work to see a lot of them jokers swimming in the collection cup. Products works just as described and I'm pleasantly surprised.
Even my 2 mandarin fish got happy eating the little swimmers in my 10g mini-reef

this is a great easy to use set up. order extra brine shrimp eggs because the hatch mix works good ive only used one pack in a week i just keep putting eggs in to get more shrimp out, they hatch in 18-36 hours. it is not the best way to get the most out of your brine shrimp eggs, but i dont have room for bottles, extra air pumps, and airline and other accesorries needed to hatch brine shrimp but for a single spawn of bettas this can give me enough shrimp at a time.

Pros:
good to separate the shripms from the salty water
Simple and smart
Cons:
The Salt & eggs mix had poor hatching rate below my expectations
It did not say if the salt mix had PH conditioner with it.
The overlall documentation and explanation on how to use the product was mostly looking like educational purposes and not addressed enough for hobbiest
I would still recommend the product but not for the salt mix

This product is ideal for coral or filter feeding only. The brine shrimp are very very tiny. They look more like marine fleas in terms of size. If you expect to see the type that some LFS sell for fish, this is not your product. Ed.
