Low Salinity Help

[Jeremy K.A.]

Hey reefers, my 10 gallon tanks salinity is at 1.021, I'd like it around 1.025 or 1.026. How can I raise it safely? Right now it looks like it needs to be topped off with.. maybe half a gallon or 1 gallon at the most

Best way is to stop topping off with RO/DI water, and slowly top off with saltwater mixed to the specific gravity you're trying to achieve.
