Pulled a bonehead move tonight! @*$&)&%!!!

[donnievaz]

I wasn't really paying attention and poured about 1-2 ml of Revive in my 29G BC thinking I grabbed the Acropower. I did some Googling and from what I can gather it shouldn't cause any problems but man I could kick myself! Worst part is I haven't had a drop to drink so I've got nothing to blame it on.

Oh man, run some carbon. Im sure eventually 1-2ml of any commercial coraldip would be harmless. You have a small tank, so theres a possibility it could be bad

I just changed out the carbon last week so I should be good there. So far I can't see any changes in behavior so I think it's gonna be ok.

Just look over things like snails and shrimp ect to see if their acting funny

I'd do a water change!

I thought about but it was 1:00 am and I had to get up at 7:00. It's almost 7 hours later and everything is fine, fish, snails, crabs, clam, bristleworms. Looks like nothing was affected.

Revive does kill pods.

Thanks, that makes two of us!

Revive does kill pods.

If that's the extent of the damage I can live with it. Pods are easily replaced. I'll check that out when I get home tonight.

Along the same lines, I also believe it will kill beneficial bacteria. I could be wrong, but I would check your levels to play it safe.

Good point! didn't think about that... Unfortunately I won't be home for another 8 hours or so!

Just called my daughter and she said everything's still looking good. Everyone's swimming around like they normally do. I'm definitely going to pick up an ammonia test before I go home. Used up the last of my old one on the QT a couple weeks ago.

 

[CNY750Rider]

I wouldn't even worry about that small amount

I have done worse ,so much that my nickname is Nucklehead!!

 

[donnievaz]

OK FINALLY home. Tested for ammonia and came up with a big fat zero. I think it's safe to say that I'm good to go.

Glad to hear everything is still good! Hopefully it stays good and you don't pull a brain fart like that again.... I pulled a boneheaded stunt before like using perioxide for overnight contact cleaning and made the mistake of grabbing that to rinse my contacts one afternoon lets just say that 3% perioxide in the eye is nothing to play with!!!!! I put red tape in it after that.... Could be a great way to make sure you don't do that again at 0100. Good luck

Was moving a frag on a plug tonight and it was crawling with pods so I'm good there as well!

Bristleworms?
