switching salt mixes

[hansumbill]

Im almost finished my salt mix and im switching to reef crystals. when i do water changes should i mix both salt mixes to build up tolerance for my fish.. or just finish the one bag and start the new brand?

No correct answer. The general gist is to gradually make the change .. many/most just use up the old salt and then start to make small water changes with the new. I suspect there isn't any downside to mixing small batches of salt but the only time I ever do that is when I want to achieve a particular chemical balance with salts that I have purchased at a deep discount (example - one salt has low alk and high calcium combined with a salt that has high alk and low calcium).

I agree with the above post. There is no harm in mixing, but it is not nessecary.

I think there is a thread about Reef Crystals salt I saw recentley
that there is some kind of problem with that salt. You may want to look into that thread. B4 you use it. Can't hurt.
