hello so i fed this afternoon and turned off my pumps manually through my apex and i forgot to turn them back on before i left my house. My doser put about 65 ml of BRS 2 part and it precipitated in my sump. Feeling super dumb right about now lol. Had a big ph spike but came down already. Any advice would really be appreciated!
 
If it was contained in the sump I would drain and use new salt water...
 
Both parts? One part? What tank volume? Have you measured alk?

You may need do nothing at this point, if you added both equally.

Both parts, alk and cal added 65 ml. Tank volume is roughly 90 gallons. I ended up siphoning the precipitate that was in my sump and added nopox to bring down ph a bit. I measured alk yesterday night and came out to 8.3 so not to bad there and apex is reading ph of 8.24 now

Everything is fine then. :)
 
Yup, just freaked out yesterday night since its the first time it has happened to me. Thanks for the help!

You're welcome.

Overdosing both is a lot simpler than overdosing one only. :)
