Too much algecide bad?

[repilce]

I added some algecide to my water i use for my WC'n.. since i keep it sit'n around in jugs i just added some to my gallons.. apparently i misread though and added 14 drops to 1 of my gallons when the bottle reads 14 drops to 10 us gallons. :-/

Wonder if this could hurt anything? or just keep me REALLY algae free.

Well, all it says on the bottle of PT nuke is to add 1drop per liter for one ppm and 2 drops per liter for a a higher ppm. It doesn't say anything about not adding the whole bottle if you want to, just the minimum amount you need for it to be effective. I could be wrong, but something tells me this is not going to be a problem for you.

i think the recommendation is for its effects on living organisms.. too much is probably bad for fish/people. is it copper or non-metallic based? that might matter if you have non-copper or no anticorrosion fluid in your loop. no really sure

I would play it safe and dilute it with distilled water. There is citric acid and CuSO4 in it, but the concentration of both is probably very small. Most of the components in your loop should be resistant to this, but like I said, I would play it safe and dilute since that would be so easy to do.
