1. Take a 2 quart plastic soda bottle and clean it really good with
hot tap water, and regular unscented bleach.I add 1 teaspoon of
bleach, then flush and rinse with water.

2. Take the plastic bottle cap and drill a hole the same diameter
as a 1/8 inch piece of rigid clear tubing.

3. Next cut a small slit in the top of the Bottle cap between the
hole you made for the tubing and the top edge of the bottle cap.

4. Insert the rigid tubing (long enough to reach the bottom of the
bottle) through the hole in the center of the plastic bottle cap so
that it reaches the bottom of the soda bottle.

5. Slip one end of a piece of green airline tubing over the top end
of the rigid tubing and slip the other end onto the air pump.

6. The secret formula for the brine water. We fill the bottle 2/3 full
of fresh tap water(don't worry about chlorine or chloramines). Use
a funnel and add 1 tablespoon full of non iodized salt(natural
pickling salt works great) and 1/4 teaspoon Epson
Salts(Magnesium Sulfate). I put in 3 drops of full strength
regular unscented bleach, plug the top of the bottle with an
unaltered cleaned bottle cap and shake, shake, shake.

7. Using a separate plastic funnel I add 1 teaspoon full of Baby
Brine Shrimp Eggs to the brine solution and shake well then
add the air and bubble away.

8. If you use a heat source such as a high wattage light bulb close
to the bottle it will heat the water in your brine solution and the
eggs will hatch out usually in 24 hours. The closer to 75 degrees
Fahrenheit you get the brine water temperature, the sooner they
will hatch. We have hatched them out in as little as 12 hours
when everything is perfect.

9. To harvest the BBS, we remove the air line from the air pump
and let the bottle sit next to a light source for 5 - 10 minutes. We
use the silicone air tubing and stiff tubing to carefully siphon all
the shrimp from the bottom of the bottle. Most of the shells from
the eggs will be floating on the surface and you do not want to
feed these to the baby fry.

To make up the brine water in bulk, I would take 1 gallon of tap water
then add 8 Table spoons full of Doc Fishwell's Aquarium Salt and  10
drops of full strength regular unscented bleach. Shake well and let it
age over night before using it  to hatch BBS.

soda bottle. Then cleaned
and flushed it well.

Here I used a sharp point on a
utility knife to cut a small hole in
the center of the plastic cap.

I attached the air line so you
could see it all connected from
air pump to the stiff tubing in the
soda bottle.
