Not sure about the chemical reaction from the Alk test but I would do a large water change and run plenty of carbon

How much water volume is in your system

I'm no expert but seems like a few drops of dye in 20 gallons of seawater might not even be noticed.

Your corals or inverts appear to be showing any signs of stress?

I would not worry about it to much but for PC of mind little carbon and a water change should be fine IMO

How much of which kit? 2 mL?

The alk will drop a tiny amount from the acid (assuming that us what you added) and I wouldn't expect any noticeable impact if that acid held the dye as well.

It is not likely any concern and I wouldn't do anything special.
