That's a awesome instructional video!
I've seen kits like this online, but it's much better to make your own and save money.
So, how do you feed your pond fish with these brine shrimp? Just let them go into the pond? I remember feeding aquarium fish brine shrimp, but it would seem these things would get lost in my 1500 gallon pond.

i raise fry in tubs and kiddie pools.. i feed fresh hatched brine shrimp for about 2 - 3 weeks at most...then i feed bulk freeze dried brine shrimp cubes and flakes. at 5 weeks many get released into the pond...if theyre over an inch in size theyre farely safe from being eaten. theyre recognized as fish, not larvae. see this thread...
