So got my bottle of vibrant today, read the instructions and dosed my tank. Later thought about it and reread instructions. I over dosed my tank. I have a 100 gallons total and I put 100 ml of vibrant in my tank instead of 10ml. What should I do now?

You an use high doses of Vibrant to kill of pest algae. It's stressful to sps at that dose but is effective. Usually dose 0.5ml for every gallon of water but I've seen a tank plagued with bubble agae (you couldn't see the rocks) dose 1ml/gal. All the bubble algae is gone but he did lose a few sps colonies.

Don't freak out, your tank isn't going to melt down, just do a water change when you get a chance.

Water change and add carbon. Water change again on Friday to reduce content
