I have a 640L 1.8mx.6mx.6m vertical aquarium tank with fresh water fish.
I have two air filters and two air pumps which connect to stones aerating the water at the bottom.

Today I came home and the automatic fish feeder which I baught, had fallen in. I panicked and immediately began to fish it out with a fishing rod I had found lying in the garage. I sticky taped a net to the end of the fishing rod and fished it out. I grazed my arm in the process. The tank water is brand new and I just got it right a few days ago. (PH, hardness etc.)

My concerns are:
a) The fish feeder contains many electrical components, not to mention batteries, who knows how long it was sitting in there, would this of harmed fish/water in my tank? The PH is still ok I checked it before.

B) The graze had specs of blood in it, which I did not notice as I was more concerned with getting the fish feeder out. So I suspect some dead skin and blood fell into the tank (not much tho). What impacts would this have?

c) the sticky tape, would that be harmful? :\

There are 4 fish, a gold fish and 3 others which look like gold fish but are white hahah. I'm no fish expert.. as you can tell.

Will my tank be ok? :(
 
I think you might be overreacting here, I doubt much harm will come to your fish from what you have said. You large 170 Gal tank should mean that any impurities will be greatly diluted. Look at the battery in the feeder to see if it has leaked, as this is the only thing you need to worry about.

BTW are you just keeping cold-water fish in that tank?
