This is the best one I have seen and used personally.

i hve the same one, but baby brine shrimp doesnt have the nutrients to keep them alive, get pods as well and live mysis, domboski knows a place that sell's them, is this a dedicated tank for the pipefish ? my seahorse tank i soak mysis in selcon and had gtten live adult brine and the hors loved it

I have used a diy soda bottle setup for a while and could imagine an easier method. The other unit look good, but here's an area where you can save some cash.

As far as the return pump goes, the baby brine are so small the numbers are great, I would worry too much about them not making into the tank alive.

If you haven't already come across this diy, here's a link

There are many other diy plans out there

I was not planning that as the only food have lots of pods and a culture in the basement just trying to get them to switch to frozen babby mysis

You can easily build one. I have been using this one for a few years as I hatch shrimp every day.
You put the eggs on the black side. Cover it, Put it in the light. And in 15 minutes all the shrimp swim through the hole to the light side. All the shells stay on the black side. I slide the door over the hole between the sides and suck out the shrimp.

Paul
what is the air line used for on the left do you have a pic with it running

Wait, Paul, your brime shrimp hatch in 15 minutes are is this a seperator device.

No that is not for air. When I want to remove the shrimp, I slide the door down sealing the hole between the sections and drop that tube into a container. All the shrimp and water on that side come out while the water on the egg shell side stays there. Then I rinse the thing out and re use the hatching water once again. After two hatches I change the water on the egg side. The side that I return to the tank with the shrimp, I fill with tank water.

Wait, Paul, your brime shrimp hatch in 15 minutes are is this a seperator device.

No No No, they don't hatch in 15 minutes. I wish they did. They hatch overnight. They swim to the light on the other side in 15 minutes. They each have a little wristwatch or swimmerette watch.

I was gonna say I would love to know where your buying those eggs from. So run no air no heater just sit the box with eggs and tank water and wait.

OMG hatched in 24 hrs and the eggs come with it for free

Well almost. I do add an airstone which gives you a better hatch but if you don't want to do that you could just put the eggs and water in a container and shake them for a few seconds then put them in the hatchery.
You don't need a heater. The eggs hatch in about 16 hours or less.
