The pictures are not very good, I will take some more when I get home from work, but I just noticed these rotifer looking things attached to the walls of my wet/dry sump last night. I don't see any inside of the tank, and I did not think any copepods would grow inside the wet/dry sump as it is not a refegium and there is no light above the sump.
Also, any suggestions for the red algae in the tank, I am using ro/di water, I am sure I willg get plenty of criticism for the tank itself, I know it needs a lot more work..
Thanks!

I get that some times and all I do is to shortin the light time for a few days and it will go away you can even just shut the lights off for about 2 -3 daya and it will go away faster
shutting the lights off for a day or three will not hurt.

good luck

cyano bacteria. the cause is jsut excess nutrients availible in your system, primarily phosphates and nitrates/nitrites. if you get rid of these nutrients via protein skimmer, more water changes, less feeding, less stocked tank, ect, the cyano will starve and go away.
the rest what you have appear to be Q-Tip spounges. but the picks are pretty blurry. so they could even be isopods.
