i personally havent used it, cant say much about it, but from i read its ok, its better if you do this instead http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/food/bbs/how_to_bbs.html pretty easy and simple

Hmmm... looks very interesting. I wonder how it works?

The theory is yo put eggs in the long open side (the left) with salt. Add an air pump which keeps the eggs moving. Once they start to hatch they are supposed to swim out into the tank. I think its very poorly built.

i agree with hail, even though i havent used it either. it just seems easier, even though its a little more work.

I've talked to people that ave used this and it seems to work ok. If you only need a small amount of BBS in the tank as treat it should be ok.

I bought one of the feeders and honestly I found it to be a piece of junk. I set the thing up @ in structions. I mixed everything by the instructions. When the eggs started to settle instead of them collecting in what they call the hatching chamber the eggs preceeded up the tube and out into my tank. Also they say the fresh and saltwater won't mix, well it does. If you haven't already bought it, save your money.

i bought a shrimp hatchery from PetSmart this weekend. basically its just a black box and a small clear plastic cup. i used it and it works really well. it only cost like $8 and it came with 3 packs of premix (eggs and salt). all you have to do is add water. its only for hatching them, though.
