Carbon spill in DT

[Bpfor3]

somehow the BRS carbon spilled out of the bag and the main pump spewed it all over my DT. it’s about 170 total gallons and probably a cup or two of carbon. no way i can get all the carbon granules out but i assume if i can the majority within 30 days or so i should be fine. it’s a true mixed reef with large Sps colonies and lps. anyone foresee any issues or problems?

For me, the issue would be for any fish developing HLLE due to carbon dust in the tank. That would mostly be an issue with Acanthurus tangs. I don't foresee any problems with the corals.
