i got my fingers crossed for you.
and rykna, i've had, for months, a bucket. the bucket was just a bucket of dirty saltwater from a tank that was holding my extra live rock and i put some eggs in it one day wondeirng if they would hatch and breed in the tank. they didn't. took some of the dirty water out and did a water change of the tank and forgot the bucket of dirty saltwater. week later i noticed i had thousands of brine shrimp int he bucket. been a continuous breeding cycle of brine shrimp just int hat bucket for months now. no flow, nothing. just a bucket of saltwater, with a yellow tint, lol.
