    So I turned of my powerheads and my hob filter for a bit because my Condy decided to commit cuicide so I cleaned my filter and put everything back together and I got in the shower. My wife stops me when I get out and says what is this..... I look and a thousand little brown jellyfish like things ate floating in my tank. Idk what they are so I turn on my filters and powerhead and a few min later their gone. I should have taken a picture but I was worried to I though my filter would catch whatever it was. Does anyone have any idea??

    If they are hydroids they should die off in time. At the very least they'll self regulate.

    I wouldn't worry about them.
