hi everyone so I'm currently in the end stages of the cycling process of my 40 gallon tank and i accidentally spilt my ammonia test in the tank. It was about 5ml of testing solution. I use the Red Sea test kit. I don't want to do a water change because I want to leave the cycle alone. Also I don't have everything on hand I need right now to do one. Do you think this will ruin my cycle or since it's such a little amount it'll be ok?
Help!! I got testing soloution in my tank water

Not too sure what's in those kits. Maybe @Randy Holmes-Farley or @Habib(Salifert) can help you out. Best of luck.

As was mentioned before, "let it ride"
You can filter over GAC but as you said it was only 5 ml i wouldn't worry about it.

You are the test patient, so let us know how everything works out! I'm scratching my head on this one, but I'd run carbon and do a hearty water change....but I'm guessing you'll be just fine. HERE is the MSDS. Note that in that five milliliters is a pinch of Reagent A, and five drops each of Reagent B and C.
