I am about to change salt mix from Red Sea Coral Pro to Red Sea Blue bucket. I currently run my tank at 10.5 dkh at a salinity at 34 PPT. In switching to Red Sea Blue bucket, I plan to run salinity at 35 PPT and alkalinity at 8.0 dkh. The tank is has a water volume of 60 gallons and is a mixed reef with heavy zoas and euphellia with some SPS (across and montis) mixed in. I currently dose 2 part and have the dosing dialed in for stable paramaters. I plan to lower alkalinity gradually through water changes with the new salt.
My question is, what is a safe timeframe to make this change? I am primarily considering what an acceptable timeframe is to decrease alkalinity from 10.5 dkh to 8 dkh which will determine how gradually I will introduce the new salt.
Thanks!
