Tiny White Bugs!

[MissG55]

I have recently set up and cycled my new tank.
I am new to marine and in my hours of staring at the rock waiting for things to happen i noticed lots of tiny white bugs on the glass and swimming around.
I have added a photo as best i could as i know these can be helpful. Should i be worried?

Thought this would be the best place to ask rather than adding it to my journal.
Thanks
Donna

Most probably amphipods all good it is worth adding some live copepods, Rotifers and Brineshrimp to the tank to get a nice population of bugs in the system. I also add a v high quality Phytoplankton mix to my tank as well its all good

Glad to hear it, started to get a little worried!
Can i add the copepods and brine shrimp even if i have no fish yet - only hermit crabs nass snails and peppermint shrimp. Not planning on adding fish for at least another 3 weeks.

Best time to add them let them establish themselves in the tank
