![]() I would take out some water, then add salt to that removed water to increase salinity.
For example if your tank is 200 gallons, take out 10 gallons and increase salt... If salinity is 1.023, then increase it to 1.026, mix and then re-add The above procedure probably will increase your salinity overall by .001 point, use your hydrometer or refractometer to test... Do this once a day until desired salinity is reached. You will probably need less salt added as you get closer to your optimal range, so just be careful. Once achieved, your salinity should stay at that, unless you have salt creep, just keep an eye on things and rub the salt creep back into the tank.
