This morning my glass themometer broke in my sump, my own stupidity. Red liquid didn't come out but the tiny needs went into the sump on the pump side. I was able to siphon most of them out, I'm sure a few went up the pump and into the display. I'm $!#cked? Is everything going to die eventually and slowly?
 
So heavy metal might be released in your tank. I recommend you to big water change in case.
In the past, my submerged pump was broken and made a hole on the side of water pump. A lot of heavy metal was released from the inside of pump. Most of SPS became pale. I did 50% water change every other day for a week. The. They slowly recovered.
