Several months ago, we found some isopods in our 72g when it was set up. Didn't know what they were and did a whole whack of research at the time. Turned out they were scavengers and not at all harmful to fish.
Anyway, during my research, I read about parasitic isopods. If I understood correctly (and don't have the pages to support this, dang), some parasitic isopods are very adaptable and will scavenge in the absence of fish. If there is enough crud to eat, they can be in a system for months and freaking months without fish
Brad, I truly hope you are able to capture all the bad guys from your new tank
