Explosion in the Tank

I ended up creating a big mess in the fish tank Friday night. There was a issue with the CO2 system leaking mix into the tank. I noticed it right away and pull it out to clean the tube out and then used the python to suck up the little that had leaked into the water. After cleaning out the cap and tube I figured it would be ok and hooked it back up. That was a mistake…. After 15 to 20 min I came back to check on the tank and it was all white clouds. I Quickly took out the CO2 system again and did a 75% water change. The huge water change helped and the water just had a haze to it now, so I left it to filter over night. The tank looks back to normal now but I am still waiting to see if any bad effects come up from this.

    Its been about 2 weeks and still nothing bad has come from this.. Did a few more water changes than normal in that time, but I think I would have been find with just the standard change.
