Hey @Blue bio balls let me pick your brain and your expertise.

I picked up a mandarin goby.

These critters on my glass what he'll eat? If they're on the glass, my rock should be well seeded?

I have phytoplankton and an assortment of copepods coming tomorrow to try and seed the tank some more.

These are what I bought:



So after lights out tomorrow, turn off the power heads and the filter for about an hour and dump everything in the tank at once to populate the rock and sand? Do this every 4 months?

Thanks in advance! I remember you had a mandarin for a long time so I figure you know this stuff pretty good. Sorry for all the newb questions...

If they are walking around on your glass they are copapods, Sometimes a fish tank will get an explosion of them. Your best bet is to try to get him on sinking pellets.
