Rapid change in salt brands

I'm looking to ditch my Oceanic salt because I am just not pleased with it. I have this feeling that I might have a bad batch, but I don't really like the ridiculous high Calcium it contains and every batch of saltwater I've made with this new container of it has made my water cloudy. With my recent loses, I wanna dump this salt now before it causes any more deaths down the line (if it indeed was the source).

With that said, is it possible to do a drastic change in salt brands? I've read that people recommend slowly mixing in the old salt with the new, but I don't really want to use the Oceanic salt anymore.

Also, anyone have any suggestions for a similar salt brand or a good one. Seems like everyone has their own preference, so I would love to hear them.

 

For LPS/SPS dominant tanks, a lot of people like Reef Crystals or Red Sea Coral Pro. It won't hurt anything to switch, just start using the new salt for normal routine water changes.

 

i am a big fan of kent salt. i switched from instant ocean. i didn't do any mixing with the old. i love the kent, no problems at all with perfect calcium.

 

I really like the Tropic Marin pro reef I got

 

I'm pretty happy with Coralife, LOL! This is one of those topics where everyone has a favorite for one reason of another.

As far as switching, unless you're planning a really large WC I don't see any issues.

 

I have heard of people just changing without mixing the two different brands and having no problems. I really like my reef crystals from instant ocean!

 

Glad to know I can just start water changes with the new salt, thank you guys.

I think I will try out some Reef Crystals due to the fair price.

 

I really like my salinity form seachem!
But I would recommend reefsalt by seachem for you!!
