 |  Hey there
Hi, im jodee, i live in victoria, Australia, although i have had tropical fish for many years, i am new to salt water aquarium keeping, in Oct 2007 i brougt a 4' tank which now has some live rock and a few fish, i had the unfortunate fate that one has when quarentine wasnt used as directed by my aquarium dealer (who is the only dealer of marine fish in a 200km radis of where i live) and i lost all my fish to Ich, fluke & worms, i have since started 3 QT tanks as i do intend to purchuse some corals and more live rock also as i've had tiny white moving spec's on the QT tank glass i thought it was nessary for 2 tanks for the fish, so far all is rosey except for these copepods? if thats what they are, so hence me joining a forum as i have much to learn |

Hey hows it goin?
Copepods are really good for your tank so i wouldnt worry about them.
Ich fluke and worms - thats pretty rough, but if you dont have any invertabrates i'd copper the tank.
If you do then its more difficult i guess. Dont have experience with alternative ways of removing fluke and worms from a tank. _________
