Hey guys as you can see by the title I'm a newbie to the saltwater side of the hobby. Anyways I have a 29 gallon tank that is cycling as we speak and something freaky happened. So last night I used my Fluval Sea hydrometer and I got a reading of 1.022 salinity and then this morning some of the water dissolved and I did what I had read on many Websites and I replaced the evaporated water with freshwater and the salinity dropped from a 1.022 to 1.016. I currently have 30 lbs of Caribsea aragonite sand and about 5 lbs of live rock (adding more later). I'm running a Marineland model 150 HOB filter and a Koralia Evolution 750 and soon I'll be getting a protein skimmer, LED lights, and another power head. Anyways what is the best way to raise my salinity back to a 1.022 from 1.016?
