The kits work great, I like the ones that use an empty 1 or 2-liter bottle. But, as stated they are not necessary. Take an empty, clean plasic bottle with the lid on, and cut the bottom 3-4" off. Now invert the bottle and stick the lid end into the bottom that you cut off. insert an airline tube, I like to use a paperclip to hold it in place. Fill half to 3/4's full with seawater, you can use old tankchange water. Add your brine cysts and in about 24 hours (could be as little as 18 or up to 36) you will have hatched brine. The light is really only necessary to harvest them, turn off the air, put light near the bottom and wait 10 min. you will see like a red cloud nead where the light is concentrated and there will be gunk floating (the floating stuff is egg shells) siphon out the brine, I normally use the air tubing and start the siphon with a turkey baster that I bought for the tanks.
