You should be removing any uneaten brine about 1/2 hour after every feeding. And feeding should be done 2-3 times daily with enriched baby brine shrimp.
An easy way to solve this is to only feed what the horses can consume in about 1/2 hours time.

Brine lose all of their nutritional value after 12 hours from hatching so even though their is food in the tank it is slowly starving the dwarfs as they are getting no nutrition from them. It is essentially the same as you living off of nothing but water and potato chips or plain popcorn. Sure you are consuming something but getting absolutely nothing from eating it.
