Monte carlo Carpet problems from Micro Fauna

Monte carlo Carpet problems from Micro Fauna

Another day, another problem for my first 15 gallon tank!

I DSMd a Montecarlo carpet for 6 weeks before i flooded also about 6 weeks ago. Flooding resulted to patches of montecarlo dying especially underneath all the new growth. Which id to be expected from what i read

I recently got a microfauna(ostracods and copepods) explosion from the dying algae after my tank normalized but now they turned their attention to all the dead carpet underneath the growing new carpet and its causing parts of the carpet to uproot! I can see the dead carpet material thining from their grazing and i think some of the new growth are anchored to it which causing them to uproot

Should I do something? Should I let them be and just work with whatever is left?
