I've had my tank running for over a year now, I have zoas, bubble coral, a brain, frogspawn, and candy canes. Fish are, two clowns, hippo tang and a mandarin goby..... Everything is normal and slowly growing. however i have a ton of clear, ant like bugs all over my glass...... My question is, what are these bugs? And how do I get rid of them?

You can bring them to me. They are Copepods and amphipods. They are probably on the glass cause you have algae growing on it. That's usually the only time I see them on the glass. They are good for your tank and in most cases the only source of food for mandarins
