Greetings once again all,

I saw alot of little white bugs in my tank the other night crawling on my tanks glass...are they something I need to be concerned about? If so How do I get rid of them?

Not to worry. They are probably copepods, or some other small arthropods. People often refer to them as "pods." They are part of a healthy tank ecosystem, like worms and snails. Your fish will enjoy snacking on them, too.

definatly a good sign of a healthy tank. many fish will eat them, it's just a part of the ecosystem.

Yep, pods are a good thing. My dottyback keeps my 'pod population down, growing large in the process. They usually come in on live rock.
