if they are tiny, they are likely to be copepods. These organisms are okay, part of the marine ecosystem. Some fish like Mandarins will feed on them.

haha.. anyone use extra power head or hang on filter for their IQ5? I feel the iq5 filter is have very low flow and water movement is like seeding more than flowing around... already add the water to almost max..

yes.. you shouldn't move the power head outside.. your powerhead is meant to create a suction for the water that was overflowed into the sump and discharge it back to the main tank to ensure proper filtration path. to create additional flow, you should add another powerhead instead.

thx bro, I just realised I make a stupid mistake.. should have put the powerhead hole facing up.. i was try to squeeze the power head in an upright position
