i added my LR about 2 weeks ago (my tank had been cycling for about 2 months before i added it)...last night i notices some tiny little "things" swimming around. at first i thought it was just sediment or bubbles but then i notices that some of them were smimming with and against the current and definatly not air bubbles...
any idea what it is i'm seeing???
thanks,
mike.

they could be copepods, which isent bad for your tank, its showing that your tank is starting to get established
if its anything like my pic but in white, its copepods

I could not get it to pull up, even refresh did not work. The AngelFire is the only pulling up.

Copepods are good so dont worry. Thats a sign of a maturing tank and maybe soon you can get a goby if the tank is cycled. Lots of luck.
