Hello Friends!

I've got a new tank and I'm existed to join the hobby!
I have recently gotten a read sea reefer 170.

I currently have some live rock and live sand and thats about it. I'm trying to cycle my tank. I am not using any accelerators.

I noticed some little creatchures bounching round the bottom and was wondering if you could help me identify them. I think they are copopods but I am not sure.

Thank you all for your help

A member of the pod family known as isopod. I dont like them in my tank and generally siphon them out. You dont have to.
There are good ones and bad ones. This is not one of the bad ones
