Just thought I'd share this in case anyone is as stupid as me!:hmm3:

Last night I decided to add a little Amino Acids in with my every other night dosing of Rotifeast. I must have been tired/ not really paying attention and dosed 15 drops of CoralRx. Sure wish the bottles weren't both the same size and same color. I called Coral Rx this morning(side note:Great customer service answering @ 8:30 AM) to see what the negative side effects might be and what, if any corse of action I could take to lessen them. They basically said to do a water change and run some carbon. They said I may lose some copepods and things like that, and biggest thing I have to worry about was a spike in Ammonia, which would happen within a 24 hour period. But in such little concentration that I probably would be fine. All I can see that has been effected is my skimmer is going absolutely nuts and I had to shut it off, and in turn, shut off my BioPellets(hoping shutting them down doesnt effect anything with them). I plan on doing a water change tomorrow and am already running some carbon. But, am pretty sure things will be ok.

Anyone ever done this before?
 
No, but I almost put a dropper full of Lugol's into my 29 yesterday, instead of a dropper full of Brightwell's aminos. So I'm as stupid as you if not more.

What size is your tank? 15 drops of rx doesn't sound like that much.
 
130G(Net Volume). Defintely isnt that much considering their recommended dosage is 30 drops/1 gallon.
