Triops Question am I doing this right?

Hi, I got a Triops Hatching Kit and when I opened it I realized 2 bags. One of the bags contained something that looked like parsley (Detritus I believe) and the other contained little balls like fish food. I was not sure which one was the eggs so I put the flakes in there because I read up some stuff on the internet. The detritus is floating which concerned me as I figured it would sink to the bottom. Am I doing this correctly?

My triops aren’t growing; They are still very small after about two-three weeks?

They are under a 40 or 60 watt light. From the looks of it, there are a hundred or more in the tank. There are some very small triops in the tank that look like they just hatched. Some swim like they are going up and down, while others swim around like a fish would and they look sort of like little oblong balls. They are in a one litre tank (I think that’s how big it is). Thanks.
