Hi,

I just did the stupid mistake as apparently Dr. Tim uses the same exact bottle for freshwater as saltwater. I took this from the saltwater section from the store and after dumping in my tank I realized the bottle said "Freshwater". Will this have any impact on the tank? seems that it turned cloudy, so is that just a bacterial bloom? I am trying to cycle a frag tank and just have a few fish and peppermint shrimp in the tank currently. Is there anything I can do at this stage? or will the bacteria just die off? mushrooms in tank seem to be closing up too. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks

The bacteria will probably just die. I would do some water changes for sure and then get the right type
