Tiny white bugs in tank

[tigger7652]

I am not sure how to explain this. I am seeing almost microscopic white worms (???) is my tank - they are under the gravel/sand and move very quickly. I have even seen them in the second small filter inside the tank. Does anyone have any kind of idea what they might be and if I should leave them or get them out of there!

most likely pods

There's a bunch of things they could be. They're probably too small to photograph easily but with a better description I might be able to narrow it down to just a few critters.

I will try but they are tiny. In fact, during a water change we tend to suck them out.
Are pods bad???

most likely its a type of pod or worm that thrives in your LS, making it Live, eating detritus, keeping your tank clean and possibly providing a fresh snack for some critters you may buy. hopefully some of the pros like bang can narrow down exactly what it is
