Ok, so I'm now planning to try BBS for the 1st time (I've spent most of the past 2 days "window shopping" online). I was going to use the pre-mix sachets, but after reading about techniques + thanks to some great tutorials, I think I'll go with separate eggs + salt.
But, on the caudata link to hatching BBS (Caudata Culture Articles - Microfoods) it says "tap or bottled water (chlorine is OK, but chloramine and dechlorinating drops are not OK)". Well, buying that much bottled water each day is going to be stupidly expensive (plus I've heard before that most mineral waters aren't suitable for aquarium use), but how do I make sure that chloramine is dispersed, if there is any in my water, if I can't use the drops? Does is evaporate naturally, like chlorine?
Cheers :happy:
Also, does anyone know where I can get some rigid tubing, to put at the end of the airline (the tutorial I've seen shows this being used so the air goes to the bottom of the hatchery, rather than using standard soft tubing which can move to the wrong place)![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
