Tank: 25g
LPS (Zoas and acans)
I’m about to switch from Red Sea blue bucket salt to Instant Ocean. All levels are about the same except for ALK; Red Sea is 8 and IO is 11.
I have a 25g tank and do a 5g water change every two weeks. How can I safely switch over to IO? Should I do 1/2 Red Sea (2.5g) to 1/2 IO (2.5g) for 2 water changes then 3/4 IO to 1/4 Red Sea for another 2 water changes, then just full IO water change?
OR just do a weekly 1g water change with IO until the tanks parameters are equal to the IO?
