no but you have my attention, where can i get one from, I think it would be worth trying out.

Bought one, tried it, threw it away. It sounds like a good idea but unless you remove it each time you do a water change the brine water will run out into the tank as the water inside it siphons to the same level as the aquarium water. PITA to clean also. You should clean it often as that is the only way to get the BBS shells and unhatched eggs out. HTH

Groan... looks like the best way is the good ol up side down bottle and air line trick. Ive recently bought the San Francisco Bay Shrimpery and am testing that. First two batched failed to hatch. Then stupid me realised its because its not airated - have no idea how they expected it to work with out an air line? So i drilled a whole in the top and added the air line. Will see how that goes.

I bought one and it found it useless, as stated it had to be removed with every water change and didn't hatch one!!

If it seems to good to be true it probably is!
