Default Salt Mix

I have been using Salinty for many years now and today I was given a pail of "Reef Crystals" as a gift. Can anyone give me some feedback on this salt and what kind of experiences they had with it? I know this salt is a lot more affordable and was thinking of going half salinty and half reef crystals on my next water change and gradually going 100% reef crystals if all goes well. Feedback would be appreciated

I've been using RC for a while now and love it,my system too.id say gradually introduce RC into your system,as you don't wanna change the inhabitants environment rapidly.that or you could sell the RC bucket

Given the choice, I'd use the RC over Salinity. Decent salt made by Instant Ocean.

1:1 should be fine. Your water change is only a small percentage of your total water volume.
