I have been answering questions to debug failed attempts of starting a brine shrimp tank for a few months and thought it would be worthwhile to put my thought process into a checklist.
I sort the minimal requirements into 8 categories. To use the list, check if you have done one for each category. If not, or if you have done some potentially problematic things, pick one of the best options instead for your next try.
This is meant for the complete beginner so I have skipped things like PH and avoid technical terms the best I can. If you find this useful, please like and share with people who may need it.
