Nitrates and phosphates will probably accumulate. Neither one really seems to bother fish too much, but I know nitrates can block iodine uptake.

SRAC 0474: The Role of Stress in Fish Disease
SRAC 4705: Amyloodinium ocellatum, an Important Parasite of Cultured Marine Fish
FA164/FA164: Cryptocaryon irritans Infections (Marine White Spot ...
