I bought a 16 ounce bottle of Copepods to add to my newly cycled tank along with a 16 ounce bottle of live phytoplankton to use as food for the copepods. I was going to use like 1/2 ounce of the phytoplankton every other day or so. I got the bottles mixed up and accidentally poured all 16 ounces of the phytoplankton into my tank. I then realized my mistake and added the copepods. Will the 16 ounces of phytoplankton do any harm to my tank? I have the IM 15 gallon AIO cube tank.




 
I think you'll likely be just fine 🙂 This is nothing a big water change couldn't fix if you see super high nitrate and or phosphate from the phyto or from the phyto fertilizer they use to grow them. Either way, just watch your N&P.
