Kh= 12dkh
Ca=470
Mg=1400 ppm
Salinity= 1.025

Was wanting to switch from instant ocean to fritz pro?

I feel my levels are already kinda high should I stay with what I have for now???
 
Not bad if sps dominate and doing 15% or less water changes. Could be a problem if you do large water changes and don't match the alk level.

Edit:
Fwiw, I use Tropic Marin sea salt and I'm happy with the levels for my sps dominate tank.

9.5dkh
430ppm ca
1340ppm mg
35ppt
76 degrees f
 
The real question is are you getting consistent levels with your water change water? What's the reason you're considering switching?

Well I just got my foundation testing kit so this was my 1st test before switching salt..I was thinking my zoa and gsp would be better off with a higher quality salt
 
The Ca and Mg are fine. The DKH is a bit high. But with a normal water change of 10 or 15 percent, that will not have much effect especially if you have significant ALK and Ca consumption.
