Decapsulated Directly into Tank?

[gussy]

Is it possible to just dose Life A directly into a seahorse tank?

If not, has anybody ever tried this:

The only think I don't like about that unit is the "brine salt". I was under the impression that regular 1.02 water will hatch the shrimps.

Thanks!

Gussy,
This problably would polute your tank. Not all the eggs hatch in bbs eggs. Even the ones that are decaped have a 20+% non hatch ratio. You were correct bbs can be hatched in 1.02 salinity. Non decaped would probably give you a good case of the hydroids.
I filter my water changed water for my bbs hacheries. No problems and hatching in about 24 hours (decaped from seahorsesourse.com). They get washed before going into Dwarf tank.

Thanks! There goes my easy way of feeding.

Actually it is still easy with setting up little containers.
You could always try the in-tank feeder and see how your waters levels change. Try a gallon bucket (extreamly clean one) and test the water after a day or two. (sometimes the norm is eaiser than the high tech IMO)
