Been running fritz pro for a while but want to change to tropic Marin. Do about 8 gallon water changes on roughly 80-90 total gallons per week. Will this be a safe amount to gradually change?

Absolutely! I don’t see any reason you would have any ill effects with that plan. Just keep an eye on your alk if you run high and switch to tropic Marin pro. Your dosing should take care of the difference but if you run super high alk and don’t dose you may see it start to fall a little after a couple weeks.

I actually like it around 7.7-8.0 and it said that it says it mixes at 7. Is that the pro?

Yes the pro mixed around 7 for me.

I am currently using fritz pro. I have no problems with mixing it and it never leaves anything behind like others have mentioned, but I can never get accurate levels at the same salinity. They are also a bit higher than I like to run my tank at. Always seems to stress my corals out a little when I change water, and it should do the opposite. Salinity and temp always matches my current...
I am curious as well to switching as I've been using Tropic Marin Pro and low Alk is driving me nuts and thought about switching to salt you currently use. So you're saying the Salinity level is tough to attain? TIA
