emergency soap in tank, help!
I had the hose come out of the drain on the washing machine and spray rinse water from the machine in my refuge aprox 2-3 gallons. I noticed the tank was cloudy when it was fine 5 minutes prior and ran downstairs to find this had happened shut the valves off and pump to contain as much as I could from making it to the display tank. Don't know how much got in there. I immediately did a 45 gallon water change and put a carbon filter. The protein skimmer was overflowing with suds. What a nightmare I thought I would loose everything. It is now 25 hours later I did a second water change of 30 gallons. The ammonia is slighly elevated and everything else is fine. Corals and fish look fine. Is there anything else I should be doing and help would be appreciate. THanks Mike

I'm thinking waterchanges and the skimmer will get most if not all of it out. Keep that skimmer running.
