Lice?

[SaltydawgI]

So what was the article on tank lice. I missed it. Tank has been cycling for about 3 weeks now. with 50lbs LR. Had the brown outbreak a week ago and today there are little tiny white bugs all over the glass. Do I need to worry?

sounds like copepods. Would worry unless your tank starts to itch

Agreed. More than likely it's copepods. A good thing. :thumbsup:

Do they look like this?

I also have a young tank and had these show up recently. Hydroid Jellyfish. Not desirable, but not that big of a deal. They tend to disappear on their own.

Had those all over the place early on, even saw a few "big" ones (size of a nickel) rolling around the glass. They go away after a while. Now I have a nice healthy crop of copepods crawling all over the place. They look like tiny white ants or bugs and are beneficial.
