The word "idiot" is only 1 word that describes me right now. Anyways i'm used to adding chemicals into the tank usually measuring "1 capful per every US 10gallon tank." I skimmed the back of the bottle and missed the whole "use 1 capful per every 50 GALLONs." I have a 80 gallon tank and poured in 8 capfuls of the flourish - iron. I came back and the whole tank was cloudy, immediately i read the back of the bottle to find out i dumped in way too much, i did a 70% water change and added my usual amquil+ and cycle. Should i do another water change tomorrow? Please guys i need your help. Thanks!!

PS: i added the iron this morning, and did the waterchange about 15 minutes after.
 
I'd suggest doing daily 25% water changes for a few days. and probably keep chemicals to a minimum (other than dechlorinator).

edit: I'm not familiar with flourish - iron. Will it 'upset' your beneficial bacteria? If its BB friendly I don't see why you would need to add Cycle.
 
Haha nice one
