Fletch Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have had a few fail lately. My eggs are at least 12 mths old and when I got em I separated one lot to the freezer and one lot in the chiller in the fridge. I was using the lot in the chiller. After speaking to Shadoh to confirm I had right mix of salt ect, I tried the eggs that were in the freezer. Jackpot. :-). I then tried one last batch of chiller eggs, failed. Freezer eggs, again, perfect. So, nothing new here but does confirm that the freezer is the best way to store your eggs. :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchai2500 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey Paul Have you tried fresh sea water? depends if your too far from the ocean Tap water salt and bi carb never worked for me. I go to the beach on weekends and fill 3-5 1.25l bottles and use that for the week. cheers roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks for the tip, Paul! I have heard on sticking Brineshrimp eggs in the freezer.. but haven't tried it myself. Shall pop some in. I use straight seawater. We rarely go to the beach, but when I do I take like 10 bottles (do get lots of funny stares/people, including lifeguards asking what I'm doing).

Fletch Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have no issue usually with tap water and salt only. I don't de chlorinate water either. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 This is good to know, Paul... And great to see such a convincing demonstratable difference. Makes feel feel like less of a dope with BBS hatching. I'm putting the perpetual fail down to it being a bad batch from crappy packaging and storage from the company. I am completely in the clear... Obviously!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
