mixing salts

[steA]

morning all, I've made a massive mistake been running red sea pro salt on my tank for last few months keeping alk stable at 11.5. bought 2 new coral the other day placed in tank and totally forgot that I was running a higher alk and both died and I was so so gutted as it was my fault. I've still got 3 full tubs of pro and was thinking of mixing with blue bucket 50/50? will this be a problem? I'm just trying to work out what both mixes will mix to but not got a clue how to work it out.

I have been mixing salts forever. Zero problems.

Now you got me thinking of doing this, the BRS video makes sense!

I done the 50/50 mix but it did seem to take longer than normal to mix. anyway 50 litres water change 600ml red sea pro and red sea blue bucket gave me 9.9 alk and 465 calcium.
