switching salts

[fernalfer]

I'm currently using Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for salt. I have used it for about a year and have had great results. The problem is it has such high Alk and can throw off my Alk when doing a water change. I want to keep my Parameters as such Alk- 8.5, Calcium-450 and Mag- 1400.

I've been looking at Fritz salt and they are alot closer to where i'd want my parameters which i think will keep things even more stable.

Question will switching salts have any adverse effects?

Has anyone had good results with fritz?

I switched to Fritz a month ago and I think corals look better. Parameters are better too!

Go with Instant Ocean salt, not the Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. Instant Ocean is close to NSW values. I use Tropic Marine Pro (the Pro is NWS parameters).

Fritz is perfect for the parameters you are looking for.
