H2Ocean salt

[Masonjames]

When you change salts your not just changing a few levels. In some cases you may be drastically changing a mass array of elemental levels. This can shift not only the biology within the system but also the chemical reactions and stability that go on in the background. When you use a certain brand of salt for a period of time you create a local environment of specific parameters, when you switch salts you subject your entire system to drastic changes in the environment they have adapted to. Any shift, instability or imbalance can be a trigger for a bloom. Go slow. Don't compound the issue with more and more water changes right now. Give the system time to adapt to the new environment your subjecting them to.

Awesome thanks mason. I thought that might have something to do with it as well.

I just switched from instant ocean to h2o recently also I was lucky no effect at all.

I was forced to go from H2ocean to IO Reef Crystals because they didn't have at JL one time. I was kinda worried too about switching salts. Best you can do is make sure the newly made water's alk, salinity and temp match your system's water. I did that and had no issues. Mind you, I wouldn't do it again just for the thrill of it.
On a side note: gold torch is doing great, Nick! Thanks man.

Glad IO works for ya, it works for 85% of the rest of the people to. We have about 20 polls proving that already. However Im asking about H2Ocean and not IO.
