Help I need to make my salinity go up

[lilacbutterflymom]

How can I make the salinity go up in my tank? My SP Gravity right now is 1.020 how can i get it higher

Instead of using fresh water to top off with,use salt water untill you get your SG where you want it.

i just did a water change do i need to take more out and put a higher salnity in

You could take some water out and mix more salt in, then put it back after it thoroughly mixes. Or, like yote said, top off whatever evaporates with salt water.

You can siphon a little out and replace with salt water, but do a little at a time untill you get the right SG.

I concur with the above postings just do it a little at a time and remeber if you have too high of a SG the pull some out and replace it with fresh, or top off with fresh either way hope this helps.

P.s. remember your water evaporates the salt does not so do not top off with salt water unless raising your salinity. :)
