From what I've learned you have to raise Alk very VERY slowly. Do it through Water Changes weekly. The alternative is to drip small amounts daily and slowly bring Alk up throughout a week or so.
Did you test your new Saltwater before WC's?

I am using the Salifert titration kit. There is a test mixture of dKH 6.1 which I am able to test exactly too so I trust my method is good. I do weekly 10% water changes with Instant Ocean. I am due for a water change in a few days so I will test the fresh mix then.
