So I made a post earlier asking about new salt and I have since bought the tropic Marin salt. I was looking for salt with lower dkh as I prefer to run lower and the salt I was using was inconsistent and mixed wildly different figures each time I used it.
So now I have picked my new salt I was wondering how long it should take for me to transfer over to the new salt which has a fairly large alk drop. Just tested my tank and it is at 9.8 dkh. Looking to use the new salt to drop it to 8. I only have enough of my old salt for one more water change on my tanks but I don't want to be too aggressive dropping the level.
I was thinking about do a water change every other day gradually lowering the dkh in the change water? Would this work or would I be better doing my weekly changes with the new salt and letting it drop over a matter of months instead? I have a 30 gallon mixed reef mostly lps but some sps and soft corals and a 15 gallon with just soft corals. Thanks
