Thanks everyone!
little_fish - me too actually. I said I wouldn't get them unless I could avoid the soda bottles - I got a disk hatchery that just required me to add water and eggs and the brine would literally swim to the strainer in the middle (because it was where the light was) - however, it didn't produce enough brine to be worth it (sometimes very very few) - so I am now doing soda bottles in a way that is the least amount of work. I have two very large ones so I hatch about once a week, start growing them in a 10 gallon and 2 backup 1.5 containers, and enrich in the hatchery disk now - that way I don't have to hatch every day, it's actually better for them to have the enriched shrimp rather than just hatched - it's still a bit of a pain to check and make sure they are eating everything and collecting them back in the brine holders if there is too much leftover before I turn off the lights, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be like when I was growing brine for fry with a cheapo hatchery kit.
