So our toddler decided to play with a large bottle of baby powder and painted her room white. The baby powder spread through the whole house so I'm sure some made it into the tank. Is there any risk to ph swings? I have carbon in the sump already. @Randy Holmes-Farley I posted a pic of the ingredients.

Corn starch will probably be metabolized slowly. Since the amount you got in is likely smallish (compared to dumping the bottle into the tank :D ), I doubt its a concern. :)

It's so much fun when you are the one cleaning it up.. and while you clean it up your toddler is laughing at you:rolleyes:
I can imagine. Been there and must say that I miss those days as opposed to the teenage years that I'm currently going through. Ugh!!!!!
