They look like white ants - What are they?

[kimha]

I saw lots of small little white "insect like" things crawling all over my overflow. they look like small white ants crawling around. My fish are very healthy so I guess these white insects are harmless. But I am curious what they are. Do you know what they are? Is this what we call pods?
