Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
My son squeezed a tube of AfterBite ointment and accidentally shot a glop of it into his reef tank. I netted and skimmed as much particles as I could. Ran carbon, and did a 40% water change. It's an AIO 4 gallon pico. Water is still clear. I see a handful of sand-sized specks of ointment in the water column still. Wondering what kind of effects it might have on the corals (acros, favias/fivites, zoas, micromussas). There's also a clam.
Here's the ingredients of the ointment:
* sodium bicarbonate 5%, medicinal
* aloe vera
* DEA Oleth-3 phosphate
* DEA Oleth-10 phosphate
* Dimethicone
* emulsifying wax
* Eucalyptus oil
* purified water
* Tea tree oil and Vitamin E Acetate, non-medicinal
