    15% water change is nothing, try around 50% water change daily for a week to reduce the contamination

    Thank God you didn't leave it on any longer. Your coral polyps could be a little poisoned. I've never heard of an account of any deodorant sticks dropped onto fish tanks, so I'm not sure what will happen to them. You may want to put some purifiers on the water or feed the fish medication pellets to be sure.
