Mid-sized brine shrimp hatchery that can be placed on the supplied three-legged stand or hung on the side of the tank for hatching baby brine shrimp (Artemia salina). The bottom of the 700 ml container is equipped with a needle valve, allowing for easy straining of the baby brine shrimp. When the baby brine shrimp are hatched, they are attracted to light. You can place an LED light underneath the container, which will attract the baby brine shrimp to swim to the bottom of the container close to the valve. The empty shells will remain floating at the top. When you drain the solution via the needle valve and stop just below the floating shells, you will obtain a shell-free solution. You can strain it (to remove the saltwater) using the Ziss Sieve or a fine fish net.
Baby brine shrimp require light for their hatching process. Temperature influences the speed of hatching. When incandescent light is used as a source of light, it generates sufficient heat for proper hatching. However, when an LED light is used, an additional source of heat is required; otherwise, the speed of hatching can be delayed by up to 12 hours. The manufacturer anticipated this and created a hole in the middle of the lid for a supplemental heater.
Size of the assembled unit: W10 cm x L10 cm x H36 cm
Volume of the hatchery: 700 ml
