I am in the process of starting my tank and only have live rock in tank to put tank through its cycle prior to adding fish. Tank is only days away from end of the cycle. I have family up and my brother went prawning and decided to add a prawn to my tank, which died over night and I removed immediately the next morning after spitting the dummy!
The problem I have is now my tank is full of very small white things that look a lot like sea lice to me and there is also - looks like a very small white balls with lots of legs stuck to glass.
If my tank is not full of sea lice from the prawn how do I get ride of them, preferable with not killing off my live rock. Or will they die off themselves without re populating as part of their cycle.
I really need some advise as to what I should do - hope I do not have to completely start again. If anyone has any ideas what may have been on the prawn and how to remove it please help.
Thank you
Tania
