I am preparing my Betta for it's new tank that I'm going to put it in, in a few days. I was preparing the water today. I put in the conditioner. Can too much of that be harmful? And then I went to put in the ICK and I wasn't expecting it and it just fell into the water. Probably a teaspoon in a gallon tank. I replaced half of the water with fresh water. Am I okay?

I assume you mean ich medication.... right? Yes, too much of any medication is harmful.
Both the ich medication and the water conditioner should only be used according to the directions. I would start over just to be safe. Better a fresh start than a dead betta.
Your betta will be fine for a couple more days.
Good luck.

You only use medication when fish are sick. Meds are stressful for fish.
Water conditioner should be added to treat the water. You shouldn't be messing with ick stuff.
too much is harmful.

Since you have a gallon tank it should be easy enough to replace all the water and be on the safe side.

you should be fine since you did a partial water change.try not to put more tnan the recommended doseage into the water or it could harm your fish.
