Is this a big deal?

[JustinReef]

I had a media bag of carbon open up in my sump. Basically the display is dusted in carbon and there are some pieces in the display as well. The sump is also obviously littered with carbon. Im going to do my best to clean it up later with a water change but the display will be much harder than the sump. Is this a big deal? I assume its not too bad but I have never seen this happen before

No it won't hurt anything. I occasionally wetvac my sump to keep it clean.

It can make corals upset and cause problems with some fish if the spill was severe, but if everything seems fine I wouldn't worry too much.

Not its really not severe in the display but it is kind of in the sump. The display had more of a film in it with a few pieces of carbon. Most of the mess is in the sump which I am going to wet vac today for a water change anyways.
