Accidently dumped Hanna alk test reagent in the tank

[wisnia99]

Does anyone knows what is used for the reagent? Is it toxic to the fish/inverts? I have about 200 gal total volume. I dumped half of the finished test tube in the tank.

Not sure but it's only one ml of reagent at most...could add some gac if there's a worry.

It should not be toxic but add high grade carbon ASAP which will eliminate any toxins and chemicals from reagents. If fish act funny which should not happen, do a significant water change. You should be fine based on the very small amount contained in the bottle

I believe the ingredients are phenolphthalein, bromophenol, and hydrochloric acid.

I added the new carbon right after it happened

Any alk dip after the addition?

No Alk is steady

It will be fine. It won’t noticeably effect the alk in the large tank volume, since all it does is an alk change in a single cuvette, and the diluted dyes are not a concern either.
