Raising salinity

[benpoole28]

My 30 gal tank leaked out some water due to a stupid mistake on my part causing my ato to replace sea water with fresh water. My salinity has dropped down to 1.019. Typically run at 1.024. My animals and corals seem fine. How should I go about raising it back up? Is it a small enough difference that I can do a water change and bring it back at once? Should it be done gradually over hours? Days? Another new problem I've never encountered. What do yall think?

Salinity should be raised slowly. Normally, I suggest using saltwater instead of fresh to top off. This should bring it up slowly.

That's a great idea. Thanks.

Yep, what Amy said. Just keep an eye that you don't go too far the other way.
