I think you're doing the right thing by picking a salt mix that closely matches the parameters you want to keep in your reef. That's the smart thing to do.

Looking at my last bucket of AF Reef Salt, the Quality Certificate says the following: Salinity: 35 ppt Ca: 420 mg/L KH: 7.7 dKH Mg: 1350 mg/L K: 390 mg/L This is probably the closest salt mix for you. If you really want to, you could add some calcium and alkalinity to get closer to your tank water. OR What I used to do is use H2Ocean and add muriatic acid to drop the alkalinity. You could do this with whichever salt you want to use. It has to circulate for several hours after the addition of the MA for the pH to get back to normal though, so that's a PITA, unless you like to mix salt up the day before or week before the change. I used to add the MA to the RO/DI, and then add the salt mix, seemed to affect pH less for some reason. At first, pH will be something like 6.5 pH. Last edited by Myka; 01-22-2017 at 08:05 PM. |
