That is, to put it loosely, a misleading statement. While the brine shrimp DO have a low fatty acid profile, they have a higher DW percentage of...
Well as you probably know, you can find a spot on the internet that will say whatever you want to be told. That doesn't make it accurate information...
Doesn't work. Unlike things like mysid shrimp that we find in our systems, brine shrimp can't control their motion against even light current flow...
A floating hydrometer should NEVER need calibration. If you have one that is off it has to be a pretty cheap floating hydrometer. I've already...
To use a floating hydrometer correctly, you use a columnar cylinder and put the water into the cylinder and then slowly lower the hydrometer into the...
Sorry you are having to wait for Ann on the "org" but she is away from home now and doesn't get logged on all that often when she is away. Also,...
It takes a bit of time until the mod that allows new members their rights gets online but it will happen. In the meantime, you can still read what...
IME, the pod life in the skimmer is much more dense than in the DT. Seahorses pick off the ones they eat in no time at all so all that is left is an...
While I know there are pelagic copepods getting drawn into the skimmer intake, there is also migration of other pod life forms to the skimmer. My...
You might be best to post in the appropriate forum on seahorse.org and hope that Ann see's it and can help you out further. It doesn't appear to be...

Unless you have specific types of gorgonians, you don't need to dose iodine anyway. There is sufficient in normal water changes to suffice, and,...
Iggy, some males tend to have pouch emphysema and can be easy or difficult to remedy. First you get a rubber tipped bobby pin and use it to GENTLY...
First, it's too early to have it acting "social", but in fact, I can't say that my dwarf lions were ever "social". They never move much except to go...
Rare to the point no one has succeeded long term in feeding frozen in the ten years I've been on seahorse.org. How many dwarfs are you planning for...
I'll second that. I put 20 dwarfs in my 5g tank and it was still hard to see/find them, but the feeding task would be prohibitive for me if they...
You haven't said if you are wanting nauplii (young brine) or juveniles or adults, or, what you are feeding them to. Hatching is easy to do in...
First off, VERY FEW LFS personnel are qualified to give advice on seahorse keeping, although some think they are, while others just outright lie to...
