Fauna Marin Coral Vitality overdose.

I have to dose 5 drops of Fauna Marin Coral Vitality but accidentally cap fall off and 10-15 ml were in tank. What I have to do? My tank is 490 liters, 6 moth old.

I would not do anything. It is not a medication.

Just make sure aeration is high to prevent O2 dropping.

It's mostly an organic carbon supplement with some trace elements.

Ingredients: Marine organic biopolymers, trace elements, mineral supplements.

Thank you! No casualties even with coupe hours without electricity (I was at work and my automation power source live it's own life). Tomorrow I will put battery airpump.
I see no changes of corals or fish, but noticed significant drop of phosphates and nitrates. Started to dose small portions and see growth of consumption.

Looks like there is no risk of severe trace overdose?

Ah, seeing your location and a power outage makes sad sense.

I wouldn't worry about a trace element overdose. It may be unusually high, but is unlikely to kill things.

Yes, a lot of reefers in Ukraine lost their tanks. I decide to keep it with all cost, to make some frag giveaway after our Victory!

So nothing happens except some rapid fluctuations of nitrate-phosphate. You have to check them and correct maybe twice a day for first 2-4days.

Glad things seem OK with the aquarium.
