 | To much water conditioner? |
Sweetruben Fingerling Posts: 40 Kudos: 19 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Sep-2005   | I accidentally poured the whole bottle of water conditioner into my aquarium. Its an 80 gallon tank with nothing in it yet but It was only supposed to get about half of the bottle. Do I have to worry or will it be ok? |

Simply do a 20% water change or two before putting any fish in it. Plants, I would not worry about I'd go ahead and plant the tank.

To be on the safe side do a full water test before adding anything to the tank.
