It's eaaaaaaaaaaasssssssy, once you get the hang of it.
Let me know if you need more help setting it up. Make sure the hatching containers are funnel shaped. The shrimp hatch much better.

I don't store mine in the fridge, that may be your problem. are you using light and keeping the water at at least 75 degrees?

The light needs to be on 24 hours a day. Must hatch in saltwater. Need arration to kep water from becoming stagnant. What type of container are you using?
