best way to raise salinity

[kidkaos520]

So after the wife went crazy with topping off the water my salinity dropped to 1.20ish. I was looking to get it back up to .24-25 and wondering what is the best and safest way to accomplish this.

you can replace evaporated water (top off) with saltwater, or just do some small water changes with higher salinity water. JP

Yeah just top off with salt water till it gets back to normal

sweet....makes sense thanks

Topping it off shouldn't lower the salinity beyond where it was originally, unless the tank/sump is raised to a higher level?

I done this a few times..lol!!! Make your next 5gal batch at 1.30 and should make that 1.20 be 1.25. But this will have to be done slowly by changing a 1/2 gal every hour and keep checking your salinity.

What do you use to check your salinity?
