Hi everyone I am working on setting up a new filter for my tank and got a cut on my hands from the glass. After using some rubbing alcohol to disinfect I forgot to rinse my hands when I put them back in the tank. My only inhabitant is a bta and some macroalgae. They closed all the way but are more open now. What should I do and is it okay? Picture added is my nem as I am posting this

I kinda suspect the same as bevo. A small amount of alcohol will likely be eaten by some microbe. Though I honestly don't know of carbon dosing (as is done with ethanol) can be done with isopropanol.
 
Since people dose alcohol for nitrate control I doubt there will be any impact on with some minor residue.
 
medic here- Alcohol evaporates rather quickly and the amount on your finger/hand too low to measure VS tank volume. I wouldnt worry about it
 
Thank you all so much, yeah had a bit of a scare tho it seems they’re getting healthier. Again thank you
