Raising Salinity from Hypo back to normal

[ipokay86]

If I am going to start raising my salinity in my tank back to normal from .008 back to .024 what is the salt water mixture I would put in every day? I am thinking of doing a 20% water change every day or every 2 days and will drain that 20% and then replace the water with a higher salt concentrate. Should that mixture be at .024 or lower or higher salinity?
Thanks

is this your main tank? or a quarantine tank? does it have a sump? if it has a sump I would just slowly add dry salt into the sump, over the course of a couple of days.

Best to raise salinity no more than 0.002 per day. I personally don't raise more than 0.001 per day. The salinity calculator below works well.

Just use saltwater (nsw salinity) as top off. thats the best way.

The salinity calculator linked above will tell you how much water to change out.
