Hi,
I picked up a bottle of Tropic Marin's All For Reef today, as well as a bucket of Red Sea Salt. I had always got pre-mixed saltwater from my local fish store, however I decide to start mixing my own. The current Alkalinity of my tank is around 12dKH from the pre-mixed saltwater, however the salt that I bought today is around 7.5dKH (at 33ppt)
I am considering waiting to start dosing All For Reef, as the difference of alkalinity between the 2 salt mixes are large. Would there be a risk of starting dosing now, as the parameters are changing due to my weekly water changes with the new salt. I don't want to cause any type of alkalinity swing. So my main question is, should I do a few water changes with the new salt and then start dosing?
- Thanks
