Scrape glass with COPEPODS on it?

[farmboy]

There are a multitude of these guys on my tank. I know they are good so, my question is should I continue scraping(mag float) my tank or just let it ride?
The glass could use a little cleaning, but they don't get out of the way!! Any suggestions?
(Can you tell I'm new to salt?)

You could try to use a ph and flush them off.
I just brush them with the mag float. I like my glass clean.
Either way i think most of them would end up in the filter.
Depending on your filtration they might live.
I even keep my refugiums front glass clean .
Which is swarming with all kinds of pods.

I blow them off with a turkey baster before cleaning the class. Most make their way to the rocks... unless the sixline is near by!!

Personally, I don't see how cleaning the glass would affect the copepod population. They breed like rabbits.
