What’s Included

• 1x brine shrimp eggs incubator hatchery
• 1x silver air pump with a black controller valve
• 1x check valve
• 1x air stone
• 11.8 inch long transparent aquarium tubing
• 1m black airline
• 1x brine shrimp net collector

Two Installation Options

The hatchery can be mounted in two flexible ways. Use the four suction cups to affix the unit to the tank glass inside, or opt for an external setup with a tripod to position the hatchery outside the tank. This choice lets you tailor the arrangement to your tank space and workflow.

Oxygenation and Operation

There are two proven ways to deliver oxygen during incubation. The first uses the included air stone inside the incubator to bubble air continuously, with a trim valve used to collect hatched shrimp. The second method feeds air from the bottom via the check valve and tubing; when hatch time ends, you can stop the air and open the trim valve to begin collection. Correct orientation of the inlet and outlet is important for steady airflow.

Setup Tips and Maintenance

• If you install the incubator inside the tank, connect the gray acrylic tube to the air stone and lid using the small tubing pieces included to ensure a secure seal.
• For external installation, follow the same tubing guidance to connect the air circuit while keeping components organized for easy access.
• Always verify valve directions before turning on the air pump to maintain proper air flow.
