Iron supplement

[wifeofking]

So if someone has been stupid whilst collaborating their doser and accidentally dumped approx 10ml of Red Sea iron supplement into the sump what will happen to their prized very loved corals?
Recently had a ICP test picture of result but said <LOD.
D+D tank 365litre
Thank you

Probably not a big problem, if this is the Red Sea Iron/Trace, the directions say 1mL per 100L, so you're only at double a nominal dose, and should expect to see a rise of about 40ug/L.

You could water change to reduce that, but given that the dose their math is giving is 20ug/L, I doubt this level will be harmful, even if it's over what you want. You could always get a water change prepared and then just not do it if the tank is looking fine by the time its ready.

Thank you. I’m hoping it will be fine I didn’t know if the sudden rise in levels would hurt more than the actual rise itself.
I’m not setting the doser up now for a week!

it’s no concern if the expected dose is below 100 ug/l.
