So i was re-calibrating my PH probe and spilled half of the packet into the sump. Looking at the ingredients its water, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate , preservative and blue dye. Looks harmless .... should i be concerned?

I wouldn’t worry at all if the tank is at least 20 gallons. If it’s under that, maybe add some carbon just in case.
