I am currently traveling and the person watching my tank instead of putting 4 pinches in dumped the whole thing of food into the tank…. I had my parents go and remove as much of the pellets as possible with a syphon and net and they claimed they removed almost every visible pellet and at least over half of what is in the tub pictured. I will attach how much food was in the tub. Should I do anything besides have my parents monitor fish and ammonia? Is my tank doomed and I need to fly back? I will not be back until Thursday as it stands. It is 150 gallons. Does anyone have any other ideas? I also have a skimmer running in case of any bacteria bloom to oxygenate water

I posted a picture of the food amount. Tank is 150 gallons and about 7 months old
