    Yup, same idea.

    First I get a regular old urine cup...

    Then cut out the middle part leaving some room on either end to glue to mesh canvas.. Throw the middle part up by the scissors away...

    Then you cut the canvas to so it fits around the diameter of the cup. (I used ole white paper for canvas :)

    I super glued the seam with the gel variety as well as around the top and bottom. I had to put some ties around it while it dried because the canvas will not want to stay in that position while the glue dries. Be generous with the glue.

    You can see the canvas would be glued on top of the urine cup.

    You can take the cap off and on.

    If it floats, silicone a marble to the lid and on the bottom. I also would tie a piece of string in through the mesh so you can pull it back up without putting your hands in the tank.

    So that's "Renee's Urine Cup Artemia Feeder".
