I did this too by accident in a 120 the instructions on some brands aren’t clear! I did a water change on the tank and it cleared up super quickly/was consumed and died off. It should be clear in the next day or two. I recommend adding or purchasing a few bottles of pods to help consume it quicker. In my experience it has no lasting effects and dissipates quickly.

Change water and do again tomorrow if needed. Its more unsightly than harmful to the tank.
Always use a pipette for liquids

it will be fine, the copepods and isopods in your tank will consume it as well as any filter feeders present.

Its fine. Will clear on its own in a day or 3.

Turning it on will clear it faster.
