i kinda wanted to try culturing some brine shrimp, but i hear my apartment is too hot. are there any other fish food type alternatives that i can try my hand at? i also wanted to make some clam and coral food and my first inclination was to make my own dt's but then i learned that is a cold water thing as well, and my girlfriend didnt like the idea of me running a shoplight inside the refrigerator, she said something about it ruining her night vision when she makes her secret midnight refer raids.
Generally brine shrimp is not nutritional at all for your SW creatures. Think of it as SW popcorn. Its filling, tastes pretty good but in the end does nothing nutritionally for you. Your better off making blender mush for your fish and inverts. I'm not sure of the proper means of feeding your clams but I'm sure Casey could jump in and enlighten you on that one.

RESIST the urge BUZZ!!!

How big/long have you been able to grow your brine? When I was culturing them I only got them to last a day maybe 2 past hatching and they were obviously still really teenie tiny.
