Tank has small white "ants" crawling all over the wall with diatoms blooming on the tank wall! what should i do? those white 'ants' looks disgusting! Are they good or bad? No pictures as it is too small to be captured on camera.

Those are copepods. They are good critters. As for diatoms, since u r cycling ya tank, u can switch off ya tank lights. It helps to minimize their growth.

The pods is food for your corals, fishes. If you intent to keep fishes like mandarin , pods is their key food source. Many reefer spend money buying this for their tank so I suggest you should keep it too :)

I do not recommend keeping mandarin fish for the purpose of copepods unless you have a full blown refrigum. It's akin to using fish for cycling.

Once the copepods are gone, mandarin fish often starve.

Since they are harmless, you can leave them alone. Once you start putting in your lifestocks, they will diminish in numbers till they disappear. After that, you would be wishing for them to return.

Well I must say that having 4 blue tangs in a nano makes the tank look so surreal. It looks good in fact! - logics aside.

Anyway selling the other 3 away can only be good for your tank.. My current 1.5" BT is a sh*t machine. Everyday bomb bomb bomb.. Lol...

you did the right thing eventually.. having 4 BT in such a small tank is not good in the long run.

Best to read up on the fish combination before you buy. Save you time and money and the hassle of having to resell.

Cheers, ;)
