Copepods in the sump

[Icewing726]

These guys are everywhere, should I be concerned about them breaking my return pump?

Haha...heck no.. They are harmless/beneficial..

Any that make the trip up through the pump will either make it intact or they'll get chopped up by the impeller. Fresh food for the fish in both cases.

 

[Icewing726]

Sounds good, thats what I thought but I didn't want to overlook it just in case (return pumps important).

Put a mandarin fish in the tank and you'll see how they decrease in number fast. But for sure they won't be breaking your return pump

They’re good!
