bugs on glass

[shroom101]

I have a new setup,29g biocube,with 35lb. of lfs cured liverock anyways I noticed on the back corners of my tank I have quite a few tiny white bugs crawling all over the glass.I don't have any way of getting a picture on here right now but was wondering if anyone could give me a link to try an identify them to take proper measures before they get too bad,thanks

They are copepods, A great food source and a good sign that your cycling is progressing normally, you want them.

I know this sounds funny but to the naked eye they are white, but if you looked under a microscope they would be brown like those on that website. Remember no worries, slow and steady. Thats what I've been told several times lol. I wish I had some in my tank. I just have aiptasia that has started to come back from the lr I bought. good luck

What's in that photo is greatly magnified. They would appear as white dots and a little larger. There are hundreds of different little animals we group together as pods.
