Hi all,
Maybe the list is not the appropriate to
describe the problem I currently have in an aquarium, but I'm looking
desperately for an advice. So I would deeply appreciate if you could help me
with the following problem:
I have a 120gal marine only tank with just a few corals and fishes in it. Unfortunately, a disease appeared in the aquarium, and after a short period, even if I followed some medication (invert-safe), I lost all of my fishes. I moved the corals to a quarantine tank where they continue to thrive. During this period, no other fish was added. However, I installed a UV lamp.
What happened, is that after a couple of weeks copepods (probably of the genus calanoid copepod) appeared out of the blue in the aquarium. Since then, they have "colonized" my tank.

What can I do to get rid of this
creatures?
Could they become dangerous to my future live stock?
Are there any fishes which could "take care" of them?
Is there any chance the copepods could strike back, i.e. appear again for a particular reason that I;m ignorant of?
