Our Nano Brine is packaged as sterilized eggs designed to hatch in transit. This allows the Brine Shrimp to arrive at a highly nutritious life stage.

- Inspect the jar for swimming movement to be sure the eggs hatched successfully in transit.
- If you do not notice motion in the jar, but instead a large mass of brown "detritus" at the bottom, it is likely the eggs did not hatch in transit.
- This is not a cause for concern. Remove the lid and allow the jar to rest for up to 48 hours. Usually, the eggs will hatch within 12-24 hours.
- Pour the entire contents of the jar into the Aquarium to feed your fish and coral.
- For best results, turn off pumps and filtration until livestock consume all Brine Shrimp
- Nano Brine can be enriched with OceanMagik LIVE phytoplankton, just add 1 oz into the package container as a nutritious food source for the shrimp.
