New to saltwater tanks

[HeyFreqs]

I just did salinity check on my tank and it's around 1.019 how do I get it to rise? Thank you.

Do you hqve any livestock in the tank? If so don't just add salt to the water. Instead of topping off your tank with RO water use some mixed salt water till you bring your salinity up to where you want it.

Maybe I should have asked if it is ok to just put some instant ocean into the tank

+1 BL1...do this procedure slowly over time, not all at once. A quick change in salinity is bad for your livestock.

Do you have anything living in your tank? If not, then you can add salt to the tank to bring the salinity up to where you want it.
