Default Using 2 Salt types at the same time?

I normally use H2Ocean, but have some IO left. I do not want to just mix the two buckets together, I would be mixing 3 parts H2Ocean with 2 parts 2 IO just to finish off the bucket.

I've mixed salt together when I'm about to try a new brand and it didn't have any ill effects for me.

I do this all the time. On a regular basis I like to use two, sometimes 3 different salts. Each water change I do is with a different salt (out of my 3 favourite brands). However, in doing this I frequently end up with partial quantities in one bucket like you are describing and will just dump whatever is left from one brand into the other brand. Have been doing this for years :-)
