Copapods evrywhere

[clowner]

Tank is only 3 weeks old yet i noticed that in the last 2 days my copapod population exploded, i mean there where some on the glass here and there but now they are evrywhere and in big groups.
Is this regular?

Yea, it's a good thing. Means you tank is healthy.

Yup, good sign. Live rock I assume. theres clearly a LOT of food(organics) on the rock. they'll be taking care of that for you.

yeah. my first coral tank was a pico with no fish, just rock, coral 2 hermits and 4 snails. I had pods EVERYWHERE. With nothing to eat them in your tank they are producing unchecked. Not a bad thing. When you do add fish they will have lots of little snacks waiting for them.
