    lots of water changes and run some carbon to clean up the water,,i would do a couple gallons every day..depending on your tank size, at least a bunch of 1 gallon water changes a couple times a day..

    my friend had one get introduced to a powerhead and he had a 90 gallon and changed 5 gallons in the morning and 5 at night for like 4 days and ran carbon...just make sure your water is identical to the tanks water and you shouldnt have a problem doing lots of water changes, either way you gotta get the toxins out and its best to get it out as soon as possible..
