Purigen bag opened

Is this something to be concerned about? It is now all in my tank!

It shouldn't be a problem. Seachem says it's non toxic. Just try to remove as much as possible. It will get everywhere. Don't ask how I know.

Start changing water

Edit: I don't think it will effect your water but you may be able to siphon it out with a gravel vac

Done 2 water changes it didn't even put a dent in it just stirred it up. Worst part is I have black gravel so it looks real bad.

Ugh... I feel your pain. Bust out the gravel vac and be resigned to it taking a few passes. On the plus side, Purigen's a lot lighter than gravel, so it does vacuum up readily. Plus it's safe enough to leave in for a few weeks/months... just let the flow sweep it into a few places and clean them out from time to time.

This happened on my nano tank 8 months ago and I'm still finding beads of it from time to time. other than the annoyance, no big deal.

Take a fish net and dip out as much as possible, it will take a lot of time!
