90g tank (probably 100g volume total w/ sump). Doser somehow got switched from auto to "on".

Based on Acropower instructions, I should only dose about 20ml every week. Last night I dosed 500ml.

Should I start water changes or just watch/observe?
 
I would think your skimmer should be going crazy with all that in the water?

I'd watch and be prepared to do a water change, maybe even two.

Skimmer seems to be doing it's thing still...not really skimming any differently.

It's one of those things where I don't think it would cause an issue like overdosing alk...but I'm not sure.
 
I would do a large water change, make sure to watch alk. It’s likely your nutrients have spiked, otherwise no major issues but cyano likes amino acids.
