I accidently dozed 2 ml roughly 20 ppm sodium silicate into my tank while distracted.

I was meant to dose .2ml or 2 ppm. Cooking dinner, watching a 2 year old and dosing silicates at the same time not recommended!

Can I let this ride? Or should I mix up a large water change.

It's only a 20 gal aio so maybe 15 or 16 gallons of water total.

Just started dosing to battle sandbed dinos.
 
Awesome. That's exactly what I was hoping you would say.
