Copepod,anthropod population?

[banshee1]

I have a large population of pods in my tank.is this good or bad?pros and cons if any?

 

[Platinum321]

I would say that is very good!

 

[MrCote]

all pros no cons in having tons of amphipods and copepods. Copepods are food for your corals and some fish and amphipods are food for a lot of fish and both creatures eat detritus and algaes

 

[FinsUp!]

Definitely very good. I was thrilled last night when I looked at my newly started tank and saw the glass covered in pods! Like MrCote (I had a history teacher named Mr. Cote, btw ) said, there are lots of things that like to eat them, and they're part of the natural filtration system.

Very good.

I had tons off them last time I had my tank setup. Wish I still had them. I'm jealous

I've always noticed in my tanks that the pod populations explode around this time each year...the corals and smaller fish seem to love it!
