To much phyto...had a blonde moment.

So, total blonde moment. I was adding a bottle of pods. And without thinking twice added 16 oz of phytoplankton as well. I only needed 0.5 oz.

No fish or coral at the moment. Just let it be? Water changes? Filter socks? Skimmer?

All of the above.
In the case of overdose, Dilution and removal is the key since the inhabitants can’t process that much.

If it’s alive then it will consume remaining nutrients and if it’s not then I’d monitor to see if you end up getting a second cycle.

The filter sock alone seems to be doing wonders. Making water for a water change. Wasn't expecting it just yet, so I won't be able to do that until tomorrow.

I was under the impression that it is very difficult to overdose LIVE phytoplankton

I would love that. It's live. It turned the water green and hazy.

What the heck! Not all of us blondes do dumb stuff!

Lol. I try not to, but I've let my number 4 buzz cut grow out to about 3 inches. Thats why I'm blaming my hair.

So some water changes and the filter sock did wonders on the tank. Cleared up already.
