what do i do now

I just received opae ula kit from ebay. i seem to have got the wrong instructions. i don’t have enough water in the shrimp bag to fill the jar nearly enough. i received a bag of salt. does this mean i have to make my own brackish water before i put the shrimp in? also my shrimp don’t seem to be moving a lot. i can’t tell if some of them are dead or not

Do you have substrate and the sea fan? Rocks?

Ok go ahead and assemble your jar and follow the instructions as though it’s a sphere.

If I read correctly, you’re supposed to let the shrimp sit for a day anyway in the bag. They produce very little waste so it’s ok.

It’s important to establish their environment first thing. The amount of water in the jar may end up being a bit short but it’s balanced. It’s ok right now.
