Hi Guys,

I was doing some plumbing on my house above my tank. I spilled about half of what the the primer applicator can hold into the tank. At most this would be a table spoon or two of clear pvc primer. The tank is around 350ish g of water volume.

Should I be worried? The poison hot line was unsure.

I did that a few months ago. In my sump refugium with circulation off. I considered draining, but i might have lost all my sponges. I changed about 5 gallons of my 25 gallon combined sump, attached to my 110 dt, threw in a bag of carbon, and started up with no apparent ill effects. Good luck

Roughly how much did you spill?
