    While cleaning the glass this morning I noticed these little critters. I'm hoping that they are copepods. This is the best I could do for a pic, I circled a few to help find them.

    Looks like Amphipods to me. Still a Pod, and definitely good to have. Got you a nice and healthy tank going.

    I would say you have some sort of pods, good stuff! I was cleaning my tank yesterday and turned off my pumps and my tank looked like a mosquito breeding pool never seen so many pods!

    Those are munnid isopods.
    Peaceful and very tasty (seahorses and mandarins are big fond of them).
