Hatching Brine Shrimp

[MadReefer]

I will be doing a small water change this week and was wondering can use some of the water to hatch brine shrimp eggs?
Salinity is 1.025; is that to low or high?

I used to hatch them around that range, never had a problem.

You could dilute it with rodi/tap water to bring it down to 1.019ish

Mixed info in internet search states 15-300ppt. Big range in my opinion.
Thanks all will try and dilute some and see how that goes this attempt.

I use tank water, as is

I use fresh full strength salt water in one of those black round plastic hatcher's that dont need an air stone. I love it. So easy

I made one of those with no luck in hatching. So trying the old way, container with an air stone.

I noticed significantly better hatches when it's got a light on it and its warm. I hatch mine in a finished attic and they hatch at 3x at least when it's summer.
