mysis or brine cultivation?

[theDeedo]

I have a 10gal aquarium just sitting at home, so I decided to put some saltwater sand and rubble in it and start cycling and setting it up just in case I needed a hospital or emergency QT.

But I would like to possibly set it up to breed some mysis, brine, or other food supply. I heard if you breed brine or mysis you have to do it on a massive scale, but I only want this for my own personal use. If anything I will grow phyto in it, but I would really like to do some type of feeder fish or shrimp.

Can anyone here that breeds their own feeder foods tell me if I will be able to do a small scale operation with this, or point me in the direction of some needed research?

Never attempted it yet so this is my first step...asking questions

I have a closet dedicated to live food culturing.
2 5G buckets for Brine shrimp grow out.
2. Brine shrimp hatchery.
3-4 2L jars of phyto
then 2 10G tanks, one I culture rotifers and copepods in, other copepods only.
Mysis shrimp is HARD and costly to culture.
