The Big Salt Switch

I started with IO Reef Crystals years ago and could never get a consistent mix so I switch to Red Sea coral pro when I set up my 75g, I have been looking for something new that might be better so I purchased a bucket of Brightwell reef salt. It certainly smells different from any other salt I have ever used. It mixed up great, good reef levels across the board. I did a 15g water change and within 2-3 days my tang died, and two of my large montipora/chalice corals have RTN taking most of the colonies. I am going to do another water change tonight 10g and see if that helps. I have never experience problems when switching salts like this! My LFS runs the exact same salt and the corals there look amazing with good PE and little to no RTN...they do get bleached sps frags in shipments but i think they usually come in bleached.
Has anyone else had serious problems when switching salts?
