Its been years I have not done it. can anyone remind me which is the best salinity to use? I remember it being 1.010 or a bit more but muck lower than tank water?

1.015

I use 2 cups tank water, 1/2 cup RO water. Whatever that ends up being, it works.

1/2 teaspoon eggs. Bubble gently, and harvest within 36 hours.

I use 1.019 They hatch in a wide variety of salinity so don't stress too much over it.
