Brine Shimp Hatching - Has anyone done it?

[little_fish]

Has any one hatched brine shrimp? Specifically, i am wondering if it would be possible to put decapsilated eggs directly into the tank i want to feed such that they would hatch and they wouldnt have to be collected? As far as i can tell the only reason this wouldn't work is due to the eggs needing to be in a lower SG (1.018) but then i have read conflicting reports that just say to use old tank water.

Any suggestions or thoughts?


Also, sorry about the spelling, this computer doesnt have a spell check

I've been looking into brine shrimp hatcheries that use an air pump and certain chambers to give the eggs a place to hatch and when they try to swim away, the air pump blows them into the tank. As soon as I finish the frozen shrimp in my freezer I'm gonna fire this bad boy up.
