My last GBTA did this to my 20 gallon.... it looked like it was smoking and the tank was a white out.
I happened to see it just before bed one night and did a massive water change immediately. What is also crazy though... is that once my GBTA did this, my snails also started to breed simultaneously. It was very cool to watch.... just not before bed ha ha! Thats my guess anyhow. BTA.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

No, nothing went through the powerhead. Yeah, the RBTA is my guess. Those things keep growing and growing and not splitting in my tank. They are monsters.
Sadly, I lost a well established fat dwarf angel as a result of this. There isn't an ammonia spike yet. The inverts appear to all be fine so far. I measured the oxygen this morning at 10:30 and it was only 47%. Obviously, night time oxygen would have been even lower. I haven't run a skimmer in over a year and had meant to start it up again. Just didn't get around to it. It would have helped oxygenate the tank. In hindsight, I should have kept the lights on overnight to prevent the oxygen levels from going down.

Just do a healthy water change and you'll be fine. I never lost anything when t happened in my 20... but I caught it in the act.
Sorry for the loss. Good luck.
