Came with all kinds of things living in the bucket.. i put one of my power heads in there to keep the water moving. I took some pics of the critters. Hopefully these are bristleworms. The one pic has some grape looking things, not sure what those are either. Please let me know...

Yeah the bristle worms are cool.

Regarding the grape stuff, search for grape caulerpa and see if that is it. If so, you'll probably want to get that out. It spreads very quickly. Which is unfortunate since it looks nice. But that's life. Heh.

4th one is probably a peanut worm. Harmless. The green orbs could possibly valonia, bubble algae, which you don't want. Can you get a clearer pic?
