Help- pH calibration fluid in tank

[ReefJCB]

I accidentally dumped about half of a pH calibration pouch in my tank. I immediately did a water change, 30g on a 120g tank. And just replaced my carbon about 2 weeks ago.

Ive got water going for a second change that should be ready this afternoon.

Any other recommendations? How much should I be worried?

While I've never had that happen, I don't think there is an issue in that size tank. In a smaller tank, you might see a slight pH drop and *perhaps* the yellow dye might stain the water. Obviously, the water changes won't hurt!

Here is the SDS for a similar product:

There's no concern except a possible tiny increase in phosphate.

No need for a water change.
