I was an idiot and accidentaly let my rox carbon open up in the media bag and now maybe 1g is floating in my sump and entering the display. What should i do. I cant really fish it out anyway
 
Not exactly sure how much 1 gram equates too, but it really shouldn't be an issue. If it's ROX, then you should be able to vacuum it out with a gravel vac.
Think about it, the carbon would be in your water anyway: whether in a canister or on the bottom of the tank/sump.

It wasnt too much, seems to have gathered in a dead spot. I was more worried if livestock consuming it
 
I've never had an issue. Accidentally dropped carbon in all of my tanks at some point. Didn't even bother fishing it out.
Phew, ya in the almost 2 years ive been reefing it hasnt gotten loose somehow. Had to happen eventually
