BBS - hatching and temp question

ok so I read the whole discussion on the hatching of BBS - I just can't get the coke bottle thing going. Anyway so what I did was get a nice vase, popped in about a litre of water. finally found a bottle of bio elite artemia cysts complete with aboslutely NO instructions whatsoever so added 2 heaped tablespoons marine salt (hope it was marine - came in a 1kg packet - LFS said it was) - dissolved first in 1/2 cup hot water, added a tsp of the eggs, popped in an air pipe at the top of the vase and then stood the vase in a larger container of water with a heater. I just cannot get it to 26degrees. my therm is on lowest setting and temp in vase is sitting at 29 degrees. Will this be a problem? AMy angel fry are at day 10 now and I have lost a lot. I don't think they are eating the liquifry. I can't tell because it's white and they seem to have white dots anyway... About 30 or so left so I want to feed them BBS. 24 hours should be tonight??

Thanks

 

29 degrees should still be OK but hatching will be between 24 and 36 hours, just check when the water goes an orange type colour. I hope you added the hot water to the vase and THEN added the eggs. If you added the eggs to the hot water then you have a problem.

Also air must bubble enough to keep the eggs moving around all the time (no settling)
