You will probably see an Ammonia spike and a phosphate spike relatively quickly followed by a nitrate spike later on.

suck out when you get back home, do a little water change. Keep Ammonia from rising.

Dang and I thought it was bad when my Jack Russel Terrior chewed open my fish food and it took me 2 hours to vacuum up all the pellets

definitly do a water change, and make more water you might need to do water changes for several days.

Like Big Rick said, Siphon everything out. Then change your carbon, GFO, and do a 75% water change every 2-3 days until Ammonia tests zero.

Go buy a lot of snails, they are good to have anyway. Put about 4-5 shrimp in too.

Problem solved.
