How much of a problem is this going to be with that metal being in there?
Well that metal is mercury... most likely it would be that big of a problem but I would try to get it out if you can. But mercury it a heavy metal and is not good for you so be careful...

I don't thing there is any mercury in a Hydrometer. You are talking about the thing you use to test for salinity right? My only concern in the case of a Hydrometer would be the metal weight at the bottom of the thing. If those got loose in the tank that could be a problem long term.

They are only like little BB's aren't they? I don't know what they are - lead - steel - and even if I did I don't know what affect any in the tank would have. How big is the tank? Seems like a couple left in a large tank would not pose a risk but again let's see what someone in the know says.

If they are metal BBs ,try useing a mag float to pick them up.
