Default Thousand of little white things

I have a 100 gallon aquarium with live rock, live sand, hermit crabs, and snails. It has cycled and we are ready to put fish in, but have now noticed thousands of very miniscule white things moving through the water and crawling around on the acrylic. Does anyone know what these may be, and should we wait to put fish in? Also, I cannot take a pic of these things because they are so small. Any help is appreciated.

Copepods. Very good things to have especially if you decide to keep a Mandarin.
