Title: Don't Do What I Did

A word to the wise, but I am sure most of the "pro's" here know this already.

When preparing a dose of anything for your aquarium it's a good idea to prepare that dose in a container other than the aquarium. I now know this first hand today.

I was trying to add drops of a clarifier from Fish and Fins based on his recommendation, but the entire lid came off and 3/4 of a bottle went in the aquarium after the 10th drop.

We grabbed some buckets and did a water change as quickly as we could, but it was definitely a big overdose.

Particle bonding agents probably. I can't imagine it would do much. Although I suppose the worst thing would be having the slime coats of the fish bond together our some crap.

It was a bonding agent. Fish all appear healthy this morning so far.

Do any of them answer to the name James and/or drive fast cars after the incident?
