Default Milk in a reef
Earlier today my mom had a friend over that had small children. Well one of the kids decided if milk is good for him it's good for fish, nonetheless he poured about a qaurter cup of milk into the tank. Everything seems fine actually I wouldnt have even known unless my mom told. How worried should I be???

My parents always said drink milk to get Calcium!!!

Your tank might have just got an extra dose calcium JOKE

That was just to good to pass

Considering milk is mostly water, I would suspect it would have little to no effect on the tank at all.

Not sure how big your tank is, but a quarter cup shouldn't hurt at all.

Your skimmer might be busy for the next few hours pulling out extra protiens from the milk, and who knows, maybe you will get a micro-calcium boost?

If you don't notice anything odd by tomorrow, I'd say everything is fine.

Man, all tanks should have a "stay the hell away unless you're just looking" sign on them.

ALL TANKS.

Not that that would stop a little kid. Probably just the opposite!
