Mixing Salt Brands in same batch

[Quiverfull]

Any harm in mixing salt brands in same batch? I have 50g of Fritz blue box at 1.023 sg and need to get to 1.025. I am out of Fritz and my LFS can not get it at the moment. I have some IO Reef Crystals that I can add to get up to the proper sg. Is this a "no no".

Not a problem. People love to think one salt is better than another, while they're really almost identical. Only difference is the parameters they mix to.

If i use 20 30 gallons out of my 100 gallon mixing bin for maintenance/fragging/selling. I usually top off with rodi and red sea blue bucket before the 100g water change. Which is pretty frequent. You will be just fine

I use reef crystals as my main salt.

I switched from regular Instant Ocean to Fritz RPM (on purpose) a couple of months ago and did exactly what you said:
Started mixing with IO,,, ran out,,, finished off with Fritz -- didn't have any problems.
