Raising Salinity

[daniella3d]

YOu can do 0.003 point per day, so raising it over the course of 2 days should be fine. do not put salt directly into your ATO, but rather dissolve it and let it aerate for a day before putting it in your aquarium or ATO.

When I do my hyposalinity treatment I usualy raise the salinity by adding high concentration saltwater that has aerated for a day, and check the salinity with a good refractometer so that it is raised by 0.001 each time, morning and evening for 7 days, but I am going from 0.009 to 1.025.

Never had a problem doing this.

It is at 1.021 and i wanna raise it to around 1.025-1.026. What would be the best method small water changes? or put a small amount of salt in my ATO water? I just wanna do it slowly so i don't stress my livestock.
