Tomato Paste?

pete 43 · 05/05/2008, 07:59 PM

Here's my dilemna...I keep my cyclopeze flattened in a ziploc bag in the freezer.
My wife on the other hand,kept the remains of a can of tomato paste on the same freezer door....(yes,I was sober)
I don't think it's causing any problems with any of my corals or fish.I tested All the parameters and they all seem fine.
Here's the question,does anyone think that the acid in the tomato paste,will cause anything other than heartburn?
And have you ever heard of anything so silly?
So long,Pete

i have heard worse....with carbon, good filtration & skimming, you shouldnt lose anything

Maybe you should mix in some vodka and put one of those little swords with an olive on it.

might lower pH temporarily but if you have a good skimmer it should be fine. A good water change might be a little insurance.

I can't imagine any effect on pH at all possible, no matter the size of the aquarium. This isn't a concentrated acid that he just added some fraction of a teaspoon of....

Grey goose isn't bad, but try Ciroc. Way better, but hard to find. ANyway about the fish. I would do a water change, and run some carbon.

Thanks a lot.I did a big water change and all seems fine,except now my fish are all swimming in circles and hiccups.Time for an intervention,lushes

If I were you, I would be more worried about what my wife put on the pasta last night...

I used to buy GG until I realized I could get a handle of Svedka for $23 and after the first shot, it all tastes the same anyway.

geedub · 05/06/2008, 09:32 AM

shots of vodka? frick on that

ClayWagner · 05/06/2008, 10:50 AM

Handle of SKOL vodka -> $9.99 + gallon of orange juice -> $2.49 = What did I do last night? I did what? No way...

Bloody Mary and Holly Cows, now we have a red reef!

j/k I do not think a spoon or two of the stuff will do anything.

Pour the rest in a glass, add a shot of orange juice a couple of drops of Tabasco adn the juice of half a lime. Perfect chaser for your Tequila!

Enjoy and relax.
