Changeing salt

[Drakon]

I'm going to be switching from Red Sea to Red Sea Coral Pro and wanted to see if this is something that can be done done one water changeor if I should 1 week mix 3:1 then 1:1 then 1:3. The reason I ask is that the new salt has a higher alk along with other things like ca and mg and I don't know if a sudden rise in any of these would cause a problem. Although the rise shouldn' be too great as i'm still only doing 10-20% water changes on a 10 gal QT and 29gal DT depending on the nitrate levels.

On a side note I wasnt away that temp effected S.G. I keep my tanks at 1.025 at 80F. I wanted to double check this is correct.

Thanks

There should not be a problem if you keep the first two water changes to 10%. If you have any of the old salt left over you could also make a larger water change and simply use a 50/50 mix of the old Red Sea and the new Red Sea Pro salts.
