Just received mine from Amazon. Will follow your method, with the only change to it being mixing salt and soda in water bottle before pouring it into hatchery and putting plant grow light over top hole. I noticed that you have to turn the top lid to the CLOSED position for it to work effectively. If you don't, a small hole is left and light will come through it. Hole will be in 1st outer chamber. It'll draw some baby brine to it away from the top hole in inner chamber, were they should be collecting. Thus allowing the baby brine and their shells to mix.
Correct about the hole. The lid does not technically need to be in the closed position. There is a notch in the body of the hatchery just above the marking for the open position. Meaning that the notch ni the lid and body will only line up in the open position. Any other alignment is technically closed. The only reason I think you would need to use the open position is to dump the contents into the sink but it is much easier and faster to just remove the lid and just dump it. You dont need to add a light directly above the hatchery, the ambient light from the room is enough to draw all of the brine to the center in my experience, but it wont hurt anything to do it that way. The light may get in the way of you seeing your hatch, as well as youll need to move it each time you harvest some of the shrimp. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video!
Thanks you for watching!
Can you add more eggs in a couple of days, or do you start the whole process over again?
Have to rinse and repeat. After a few days it starts to stink and you’ll know it’s time to reset!
Do you hatch brine shrimp for your fish? What method do you use?
What's your average room temp?
