So I was wanting to add some copepods and amphipods to my tank. I have done a little bit of research and looked at a few different places online that have them. Does anyone have any recommendations on places?I neglected my tank for quite a while and then moved into to a new house I moved into. I...

I have a refugium 12 gallon nano cube dx that has a large population of pods, and i have a 34 gallon red sea that is my main tank that is very established. I would like to move my contents of my 12 gallon to my red sea to the back and keep the refugium and pods intact. about my redsea: 34...

Ok, so when I originally started my fish tank I had tons of amphipods and copepods. However, in the past couple of months I have not seen one of these on my rock at all. I have read where some people have added new LR to replenish the supply some. I do not want to add any LR due to I had tons of...

So i must say i learn something new almost every day and this hobby is great! Today i found these little guys on my glass which seem to be either amphipods and copepods. Do i need to do anything to keep these guys in check or get a new fish to have them eaten? Are they beneficial to my tank?

I've probably read 100 different opinions as to whether or not amphipods will munch on palys/zoas. From my recent personal experience, I am about 100% sure that an amphipod bloom in my tank is directly linked to my pitiful looking paly frag. I'm noticing that the polyps are missing tentacles...

This guy scurried out from behind my power head during maintenance. Somehow, I managed to baste him up. My paranoid nature tells me it's not good. He's close to 2 cm!! Amphipod or holy terror??
