Tank Water Green due to medicine!! Please help!!

[Bear Claw]

I just doesed 1.6 oz of ruby rally reef fish medicine to my 32.5 gallon tank for a fish with a bacterial bump. I followed the instructions and poured it in, and it came out neon green and my tank is now neon green and cloudy!! My fish, corals, and inverts seem to be fine. Is this supposed to be happening?

If you dosed accurately (for the tank's actual water volume, minus displacement by the rocks and gravel) this is just the acriflavine in the medication and is normal.

This is Very normal and will dissipate as the day goes along
