Try running carbon...

I made the mistake of dropping saltwater test chemicals into my 12g. I did a 20% water change and ran carbon for a few days. Good luck.

i would think you could scoop some of it out when it happens, but i've never really seen how paint 'acts' in water. carbon, and if you have one, protien skimmer 24/7. maby a small water change for luck

Ditto on the carbon. I would try siphoning most of the paint out you can get (if you can reach it) and do a water change.

When i suggested a backing, i meant one that you bought and taped on...
