Red Sea Coral Pro Salt

[Wildcats1023]

I have a 220 mixed reef. Probably 80% acros and 20% others. I have a few favias, chalice, couple torches and some zoas. I am currently using fritz blue box and doing AWC. I am thinking about switching to the coral pro salt. Does anyone use this salt and do awc? Any and all responses are appreciated.

It's really gonna jack your alk. Mine was at 12.5 with the coral pro and my acros didnt look happy.

I used for a long time and alk was about 10 for me. I now use Tropic marin

I use reef crystals, which is high alk and do an auto water change of 1 gallon a day on a 135 gal sps tank. I keep my alk around 8.3.

A small water change with a high alk salt will have virtually no impact.

Lets take a step back and ask why are you wanting to change salt?

The last 2 boxes of fritz have been off. Basically no growth and loosing color on some sps. Major alk drop in one box. I havent changed anything else in my routine.

I use it and switching from it I hated it as it left so much trash in the buckets and was just gross it also was super hard to mix and over all just made my corals look bla

I have used it for the past 3 years and think it's fine. High alk levels like everyone suggests, so will have to factor this in, but it should be a gradual change anyway with a 10% weekly water swap out.
