Default Brine shrimp hatcher

Has anybody ever made their own brine shrimp hatcher?

I was at my pals today and he had one made from an old pop bottle with an air line rigged up! I was pretty impressed. Going to try and build one.

Has anyone got anything like this rigged up?

did have years ago best to have at least 3 on the go, so you got a constant supply at diff ages/sizes easy to rig up 3 2litre fizzy drink bottles, decent air pump,tubing for pump, salt water,heating[room temp ok just not cold]...start off bottle 1 wait 3-5 days then bottle 2, etc etc

I used an 18 inch tank as a resevoir,heated to 75 to speed up hatching,in this I put coffee jars with an airline in to agitate the water and like Tel says stagger the time you start a jar off.

Check out Derrick Clayton's DIY stand for the fizzy drinks bottle on fancyguppies.co.uk
There is also a manufactured stand, it was being sold in the classifieds
