Hatching Brine Shrimp

[petluvr]

So I am about to begin hatching brine shrimp for my killis (thanks Ron) I have never hatched them before and have been reading quite a bit, with of course conflicting oipnions, so I shall bring it to the experts. First question is this, is regular table salt ok to use or do you HAVE to use marine salt?

[rocker92]

i think i read somewhere that you can use table salt

I have read table and marine so like I said EXPERT advice is needed:)

I used table salt before.

So I am assuming table salt is fine to use. Now for my next question, if I cut the bottom off a 2litre bottle and invert it for hatching the eggs how much salt to how much water? Please remember I am a COMPLETE newb at hatching brine shrimp so if my questions seems a little on the DUH side it's because I am DUH at this :)

Thanks for the link. I bought some stuff that had the eggs and salt in one package. My first try went OK but not great I am going to start another culture on Monday.
