mixing salts

[RyanG]

Is there any issues with using two salt mixes in the same batch of water? I have. A partial water change of tropic Marin and the same of oceanic and would like to get them used up so can I mix them together?

Salt is salt... I dont think any harm would come from it.

I have mixed both of those salts personally with no issues. My first tank water was Oceanic, but salinity was low and I had Marime so I mixed nothing bad happened.

Like Puffer said salt is salt.

It's not going to hurt anything. Even if the two salts' params are drastically different from each other. What's the most you'll be changing? 10%? 20%? In your whole tank, that's not a large proportion of "new salt".

Yeah it will be forty gallons worth in a 230 system. Thanks for all of the quick responses.

I have been known to use a 50/50 mix of 2 different salts.
