Copepods population question

[Brieninsac]

Last week I got some corals from a private party, one of which was attached to a large piece of live rock. I treated the corals with Coral Rx and placed them in my tank. There was some additional pukani I put in my sump.

Today was my monthly major cleaning and a 30% water change. Tonight I'm seeing white critters on the rear glass. They appear to be Copepods but I'm not sure. There appears to be hundreds of them visible on different parts of the rear glass. If so, do those numbers sound about right so soon?

i purposely seeded for copepods after starting with dry rock and dry sand. for my plans copepods are a good thing.

I will be doing the same thing with my new tank...

Sounds about right to me. I had lots of pods until my fish arrived. Now I see small numbers because they:celeb1: are getting picked off throughout the day!!
