Help please, any one out there who could maybe have an answer?
I've been setting up my new marine tank and its near the end of its cycle. at 1800 the tank was clear three hours later there are what seem to be hundreds of what look like fleas?? At first glance they looked like salt particals, but they are attaching themselves to the glass and pipework.
I already have a marine set up running and had white spot in it a few years back, and these dont look the same. Everything is now on hold until I can this sorted. Allhelp would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Copepods sounds plausible or could be another type of shrimpy creature whos name escapes me at the moment...

But yes, vital food for any Madarine Dragonets or Scooter Blennies you are planning on keeping when you tank is really established if they are.

With the number of different critters out there, could be a number of things. But I wouldn't worry about them.

Thanks guys you've helped an old man sleep a lot easier
