I just dipped all my rock with https://www.seachem.com/reef-dip.php mixed with freshwater to kill off all the harmful pest/microbes and my tank has turned a tint of yellow! I have a snowflake eel and a triggerfish with some seastars. will they be fine or should I change most of the water asap?

will my tank be harmed?

Probably multiple large water changes. Rinse the rock in between.

So basically an iodine overdose. It breaks down pretty fast. I think you will be ok. @Randy Holmes-Farley will know for sure.

Thank you all for your help!!!
Nothing has died, and everything is as healthy as can be.
I'm still checking on health daily and will check for the next month.

Once again, thank you so much for your input!
