Mixing salt?
Is mixing salt bad? I ran out of Tropic Marin salt while making a batch of fresh saltwater and was wondering if i can just top it off with instant ocean

there is no problem with mixing 2 good quality salt mixes. (which these are) Your levels may be off from what you are accustomed to however.

like patsfan said, no problem but do check your levels as they will be different from what your normally used to depending on the amount of mixing.
There seem to be quite a few people that make up their own "custom blend" by mixing different salts to achieve certain leves they desire.
