I can't see it being cross contamination, but that second picture is what i took out of the tank. my camera stinks and couldn't get a good enough shot. the ten gallon is on a shelf above the phyto/brine setup (on the floor). i was isnanely careful because that article says brine will eat just about anything it can. they are saying there's no way brine could have come in the jar, but i can't see how i could have cross contaminated it.
oh well, i guess i'll go get another jar, but just stinks that $20 are down the drain. i'd have been ok if it crashed or something, since it's learning curve, but to have nothing but brine shrimp in there stinks.
