Air stone, skim wet. That’s what I can think of off the top of my head this early.

If it’s a bacteria bloom I don’t think a water change will help.

And what size is the tank

150lites not sure how much I added as I was putting in the measuring cup stupidly over the tank and the dog nudged me as I was pouring it in the dog is 40kg so not a small nudge was only going to add a 2 ml the water is still clear if I'm reading things right on other pages the water isn't cloudy so does that mean not a bacteria bloom.

It will probably be fine unless you dumped the whole bottle in

If your only talking a few extra ml’s just keep an eye on it and watch for any bacterial blooms which could deplete the oxygen levels.

If this overdose just happened, the bacteria bloom is not instant. Might be a few hrs or tomorrow.

Nitrate was around 40ppm the phosphate was 0.11 before I overdosed I didn't check that today just all the others after the corals weren't opening tested all haven't done phosphate test yet

Have done this myself. If severe overdose will likely get a clear gel substance on glass etc. Will dissipate gradually. Water change helped but took a few days to completely disappear. While fauna obviously wasn't pleased I didn't end up losing anything.

No carbon - But do a water change. Similar to vodka and sugar dosing, going over the dose can have adverse effect on Livestock mainly inverts.
