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.

Yes, and a polyfilter may pick up Cd. Not sure.

Oh yea forgot to mention. It's a 5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank. I don't think carbon is an option

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