Awesome cleaner poured into tank

[cowboy]

Long story short my kid found a way into the cleaning cabinet while i was changing the baby, and well caught him spraying awesome cleaner into my tank. Attached is the msds system volume 200gal amount maybe 2-3 oz. Sps dominate. Attached is the MSDS.

Just finished a 20gal water change as its all i have, and added alot of carbon so far.

I'm no chemist but after looking over the ingredients I think you'll be fine, it seems to mainly be water, alcohol, chelating agents (which may even be beneficial, I'd like someone more knowledgable on the subject to weigh in) and lye. Hopefully someone like Mr. #Randy Holmes-Farley or other #reefsquad members can chime in but keep an eye on it, I'm thinking you'll be OK.

How does your tank look now?

 

[cowboy]

Everyrhing is still looking ok but still kinda makes me a little worried the time and money invested you know.

 

[cowboy]

Still have good P.E.

 

[eatbreakfast]

Water changes and alot of carbon would be my suggestion. But please keep us posted on what happens.

 

[Diesel]

Do a some testing on ALK, Po4 and No3.
How's the skimmer acting and take a look at the PH swings.

 

[cowboy]

So everyrhing is still looking great full P.E.
And out well with lights out still.
@Diesel my P.H. spiked a little after it happened slowly dropping back down to around 8.3via apex alk dropped a little down to 6.9 po4 is .05 no3 is at a 2. Cal dropped 390 mag is at 1380. Last test were 3 days ago at
Ca 480
mag 1470
dkh 7.8
I usually dont test my po4 or no3.

Awesome, test again tonight and let us know.
A spike in PH and drop in ALK might but not necessary give you some color loss on SPS but it wasn't much as long it will bounce back over a 24 hrs period by it self.
Never ever use a PH booster or dose more ALK, it will stabilize.
I suggest to do another water change tonight after you test existing water.

Sounds like you've done all you can with WCs and carbon. I'd do a couple more WCs to be safe.

Yes on the extra WC today.
After that you can go back to your regular schedule.

Sounds like you have it under control. but I thought I would add this for your consideration. It's a poly filter foss you can put in to Remove chemicals.. Changes colors to show you what it is removing.

[cowboy]

well everything is still looking happy, gotta say def enough to make you nervous.

 

[Rakie]

I'm sure you were nervous but great job keeping calm under pressure. Big water changes help, but I thoroughly believe people undervalue the power of carbon. It's a legit game changer in this hobby. Having carbon on hand could be the difference between a 100% nuke, or corals looking a little unhappy for a day.
