Bugs?


My tank has BUGS. I leave my magnetic glass cleaner in the tank and this morning on the inside magnet between the velcro looking slime removing pad was around 20 or so flee looking bugs. A photo would be impossible because of there size. Should I be concerned?

It does but the only ones I see are on the black Velcro and they blend in with it. They look like fleas and don’t stop moving.

I have been told that Pods are harmless to your fish. come from live rock and they will soon build white coccons. they can be overwhelming.
