Sorry Kyle, hope i didn't offend you. Guess i was a bit grumpy that morning. If you need to hatch brine shrimp faster, there are ways. I use 2 jars for hatching my brine shrimp. I hatch one on alternate days. I use a 30 hour hatching time because the they are hatched at room temperature and it's cooler here this time of year. I can always hatch out a jar of bbs each morning if you use proper timing. I set up a new jar each night for use the on not the following morning but the morning after that. Works on 30 hour cycle. Works really well for me. Sometimes in warmer weather i use a 3 jar set up so i can feed bbs twice a day. Always have more fry in summer then winter due to warmer fish room.
