I started off with my usual weekly 13% water changes and then I did back to back 30% and 50% water changes one day after the other only a few weeks into using the new salt. I didn't see any bacteria bloom, but it's definitely possible.

It's been pretty frustrating going from an algae free tank to having to brush off the rocks every two days.
