Have you tried one of the hatchery dishes? These are all I use for my brine hatching. They may not yield quite as much bring but I have raised multiple batches of ocellaris with them & will not use anything else anymore. Here's the link. http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/equ...hery-c115.html
They do not need air and just about any kind of lamp works great.

Thanks but don't you start with the rotifers? I have heard that any size brine is to big to start with!
