My LFS raises its own Brine. They have a HUGE tub inline with the saltwater tanks. I has a bubbler in it to increase oxygen. They also sell Brine Eggs to hatch as well. Thats about all I know. I have never indulged into raising my own food because most of the time people say brine shrimp is like a Swiss Roll Cake to us. Is it food? Sure! Is it healthy, no. Like wasted calories.

Other people will say brine is legit and a main food source. So I settled for feeding a little brine, a little mysis, and a little blood worms.

I was hoping to just use a 5g and make my food in it...looks like I will just stick with the LFS.
