White little bugs

[TAB]

Hello all,

I have just finished cycling my tank and have a clean up crew in there(snails, hermits and a cleaner shrimp) and I have recently noticed a whole bunch of little white creatures roaming around. They almost look like lice. Should I be worried or are they in every tank? Seem to be more every day.

I don't have any fish yet. Still waiting, my water tests fine and everything else is good but I don't have very much coarline algea yet, so i am scared to put fish in.

You don't need coralline algae to have fish. Some people actually don't like it. It will come over time with lighting and certain water parameters. Good to see you being patient.
