Matter of life and death

Okay so last night, I accidentally dropped TWO DROPS of my nitrate nesting liquid (which is toxic and contains cadmium)
And I did a 1/5 water change

Right now, my zoo colonies are blooming and seem fine, all my invertebrates (shrimp, snails, feather duster) are alive and moving

Do u guys think im okay now?
Please tell me I am

So WORRIED

Your livestock is your best indicator. I'd continue doing regular water changes, but if the inhabitants aren't stressed, I wouldn't be either.

I don't know the answer but I would just keep diluting the water by doing water changes. Maybe you're alright, but if it were my tank I'd do some significant water changing. Have you posted this in the chemistry forum? I'd think there would be a higher chance of getting a definitive answer there.

Good luck.

I suspect the amount of cadmium in two drops of solution is negligible. While I did recommend water changes, they shouldn't be extreme.
