Ran out of salt.

[Notsolostfish]

i am mixing my last 2 brutes to mix them and fill the tank. And i ran out of nyos pure salt midway. Is there any harm of using red 2 brands of salt in 1 brute? Would that cause any issues. Its a new tank. And its the initial fill

 

[billyocean]

No. Some people mix instant ocean regular and reef crystals with their water changes. First fill so just check parameters afterwards to know where you are...good practice anyways

 

[bushdoc]

No harm, but do not mix dry salt of different brand together, just mix them separately and then fill the DT.

I don’t think there’s any issue at all with mixing 2 different brands of salt in the same brute. You can check the alkalinity prior to using it.

What do u mean seperately? My brute right now is at 1.018 from the nyos so i added couple of cups of the red sea. I hope its alright

It should be fine to mix together.

I've mixed in the same batch before with no issues

I’m currently switching to Red Sea marine from rpm, and I’m adding them to the same batch of water. I’m even throwing in a little tropic Marin pro that I had left over from a few years ago. There’s no point in throwing away the old salt, too expensive for the stuff today.

I’ll report back on how the water change goes in a week or so.
