Im not sure if i should put this in emergencies or not but I was using clorox wipes to wipe something and while i was doing that I saw that something fell into my tank so without cleaning the chemicals off my hand (there wasnt very much at all though) and i grabbed the object that fell in, halfway through the tank i realized that i hadnt cleaned off my hands so i quickly grabbed the object and got my hand out as quickly as possible. The whole time my hand was in the water was very little and there werent that many chemicals on my hand. Should i be worried?
 
I dont think it will cause an issue but if you want to be sure, add a half dose of dechlorinator in a jar of tank water and pour around the edges if the tank surface.
 
If you ever drop something foreign into the aquarium, do a big (75-80%) water change every day for a week, to dilute anything that might have gotten into the water.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine
