Advice on growing triops?

i have a tank with little triops in, there is about 200 as far as i can tell. there is about 10 LTRS of water and i have been feeding them as often as recommended, the water is green with a layer of scum on the top. I know i need to change the water, but there is no way of me changing the water without getting rid of a load of triops in the process. They are way to small and i would end up throwing a load away. Shall i just leave it? and wait til they are bigger. Also they are about three weeks old and they are still abslutely tiny, they don’t seem to be growing, is this normal? also is it normal for there to be hundreds hatching out? I got them in the pack called “triops world” by interplay and i have only used half the pack of eggs.

my triops have not hatched 24 hours later?

i previously had a triops that layed eggs, so i collected them. i would like to know if i did the correct thing in the next step (this is my question). firstly i dried the triops eggs + sand, then i frozen the sand and eggs in a air tight container for 2 days, then i added the triops to fresh water. i know they still have time to hatch but i was getting worried as all the triops i have had in the past have hatched less than 24 hours later. i can see the triops eggs on the top of the water. they are a light pink colour and a bit larger than the sand

Should the Triop eggs be floating on top of the water?

I bought triops and i added the eggs to the water and it is floating on top of the water.
should it be like that or should i sink down?

theres still alot of brown stuff at the top of my triops tank?

its been four hours and theres still some brown stuff at the top i think the eggs already sank to the bottom but the brown stuff is still there should i just take it out

is this normal for triops eggs?

i just poured my triops eggs inside my tank and most of them are floating at the top of the tank is this normal
