Switching salts

[starfishguy869]

Hello, I am trying to lower mag, calcium and alkalinity. I currently use reef crystals and my parameters are out of whack. Is there a good switch to make that won't damage my corals?

You can switch slowly by mixing in a small amount of a new salt, increasing the amount mixed in with each batch until you've fully switched.

That'll keep the parameters stable.

Personally, I'd say to find a salt that has the parameters you're looking for and go with that.

Depends also on how soon you use the salt after mixing, some lose alk over a couple of weeks.
We store 40 gallons to dose over 40 days, so param stability is important to us.
