joes juice accident
 

my syringe full of joes juice blew the green applicator top off inside my tank while i was treating aiptasia yes the whole syringe emptied into my tank im worried is this going to affect anything? like my anemone? or fishes? maybe my corals? i sure hope i didnt just kill my tank any thoughts?:neutral:

i have found it hard to "portion" joes properly with that syring aswell. i had a similar incednt a while back. got it all over my bubble coral and its doing fine. so is the rest of my tank. only about a third of the full amount thou.

How big is your tank? If it's a small tank like 30g or less, I'd be a bit worried, and I would do a 25% waterchange. If it's a bigger tank, then likely no problem at all. Just keep an eye on your pH. If it goes up do a waterchange.

my total tank volume is 100 gallons my ph is 8.2

I wouldn't worry, just keep an eye on the pH.

Don't worry about it - Joe's juice has a pH of 12 - and while it may have elevated your pH immediately - it has more than likely resolved itself. FWIW I have done this as well. All was well on a 65.

I straight up dopped an ENTIRE bottle of joes juics in my 36 gallon tank, it melted my torch coral but that grew back.
I watched very carefully for a week afterwards for anything bad and didn't experience any die off or sick inhabitants.

I've had the same incident with 2 full syringes in my previous 46, no problem though I was a little worried at first but with that much water volume you should be fine. just kalk anyways, think of it as an expensive kalk treatment to your tank :biggrin:
