300gal pond that's been going for a while. I battled hair algea and then cyano (a little bit of both still in the pond) and now bubble algea, but I got new fish (Foxface, Powder Blue Tang) and have been constantly checking on everyone.

Last night, I snuck out to check on things and put my phone flashlight over the water and was pleasantly surprised to see these tiny bristle worms and THOUSANDS of copepods show up for the light.

I know the Bristle Worms aren't the greatest but I have plenty of fish to eat them but it was still very cool to see them attracted to the light.
