I recently broke my collection cup let it set in normal hardware store epoxy then put it on the protein skimmer after letting it settle for about 10 minutes turned it on let it run for about 30 seconds then it started leaking and i realized my mistake i didn’t use reef safe epoxy what should i do. Is the water toxic now? The fish and corals look fine still eating and swimming breathing a little heavy.
Tank: 90 gallon
Sump: Eshopps gen 2 sump

I wouldn’t worry about it.
