I just accidently dosed about 8 x's the recommended dose of kallium into my tank.
SPS dom. 88gl net system.
Will there be any ill effects - what remedies should I put into play?

How much was dosed in terms of ppm? If any animals show any signs of trouble, water changes are the only way to help.

I don't know how many ppm were dosed.
I dosed 25ml when the recommended dose was only 1ml per 25gl.

Well, I suspect the damage will be minimal, if any. If any animals start looking unhappy, I'd try some water changes. What product are you dosing? It doesn't give any sort of indication of strength?

Zeovit K-Balance
It does not give an indication of strength - it just says dose 1ml per 25gl. of saltwater.
I dosed 25ml on a 88gl net system.

How often do they say to dose it, and are you using zeovit media (the sink for potassium in the zeovit system)?
I agree the effect is likely minimal.

Update today - no noticeable effect.
