Hi there! I'm running Triton Core7 on a 20 gallon tank and as I was cleaning a blocked dosing tube it suddenly released a lot of the liquid into the tank before I could react and stop it. Probably close to 5-10 ml into the tank all at once. (for reference I usually dose 1.4 ml a day of each liquid). Does anyone know what the 3b part is? Is this dangerous? I started RODI for a water change but it could be a while.... In the 10 minutes or so since it happened the corals still look happy and all polyps are extended.
 
3b is alkalinity...if you dont have any sps corals in there you should be ok ...test your alk and see where your at ...if it's high just do a 50% water change and you will be fine....depending on where you were with your alk ....its likely too rise 2-3 dkh probably ...maybe not even that high .
 
Always have DI on hand, especially with such a small size tank :)

Why do you not know what you are dosing? How do you know what and how much to add?

Corals should be fine:)
 
Ok, thanks for the responses. I did a 50% water change and my alk is at 11.2, which is a little high, but I don't think was too high of a jump. I don't know specifically which parts(parts 1, 2, 3a, and 3b) of Triton are which elements which is why I was unsure what I had just added.

Ok
Bottle 1 ..is magnesium...2 is calcium...3a and 3b ..are alkalinity...and they all have trace elements in with them
