Lip balm

[Dearth]

Is kids Disney cherry flavored lip balm hazardous to reef environment? Long story short took a friend and his 2 kids out for lunch today brought them back to look at tank and then took them home unbeknownst to me one of his daughters dropped her lip balm into the tank and did not discover it til I came back an hr later.

Cap on or off?

[Dearth]

Cap was on but loosely attached fell off as soon as I took out of the tank
And the balm was floating o. The surface

My guess is it will be fine, but in a pinch you can do a water change and swap out the carbon (or put some on if you don't already) just to be safe.

[Dearth]

I just finished a 30% water change and I will set up a carbon filter and let it run a few days.

I'll keep an eye on my reef for next few days for any negative changes

Thank you

Its good to be safe but I don't think you will see any harm
