I generally run a filter to remove any uneaten BS just prior feeding the next batch. If have a BS hatching failure, as I did this morning, I add a pinch of Spirulina powder and 5-7 drops of Selco to my 5 gal tank. My theory is that I am feeding and enriching the more than 12 hour old BS. This has never seemed tto have an adverse effect on my seahorses.

I'd be interested to hear what some of you think about doing this.
