Help do I have a problem?

[Silverni2]

I accidentally unclogged my reactor in my sump, then before I could stop my pumps they sprayed my tank with carbon and phosban. The bottom of the tank has a slight Dusting of the two on the sand I blew off the corals and rocks is this a problem? I'm thinking I lost a total of 3 or 4 tablespoons of carbon and phosban.
120g mixed reef
Thx

you'll be fine...just siphon it out because it's not pretty to look at in the tank..

Thats not as bad as corals getting sprayed with a brand new batch or carbon dust - like if you filled a reactor with brand new carbon and forgot to discard the first couple of gallons coming out of it. You will prolly be fine.

Bruce, the carbon is much less of a problem than the gfo. I would definitely attempt to siphon out the dusting, but if you can't get it all, I would recommend running a Poly Filter.
