Pod question

[burdman_22]

I have little bitty white bugs all over my glass, I assume they are copepods. My question is if I use my little glass scraper thing to remove my algae will it kill the pods? I haven't cleaned my glass in a long time cause I have not wanted my pods to die, not like it would hurt the population though, as I'm sure there must be tons more in the sand.

Im sure some will live, some will die. But youll need to clean your glass sometime....... Just slowly push them off and most should be fine.

They will be fine. Just don't crush them like Steve said.

I have them every where...

Also a note: I want to thank both of you for your services in the military. I was over there for Dessert Storm but that was nothing like what is going on now..

Thanks for serving us over here.

Dave

I agree, I wouldnt worry about them, they will be fine, if you have some you have alot more.

Scrape to your hearts content. They are food for the tank.
