Raising Salinity

No more than 1 actual unit / week, so it would take you 4 weeks. You are /were at 1.024 and need to get to 1.028. ie., 1.024-->1.025-->1.026--->1.027--->1.028.

This will make it easier

SaltyZoo's Salinity Adjustment Calculator

Make sure you use the same units, as in ppt or Sg


Don't use Sg, use ONLY ppt in the window. You get funny answers with Sg. So, at 30 ppt and you what to go to 35 ppt @ 50 gal / week WC.

Sg vs Salinity table. Take your Sg reading and find it in the far left column. Then go to ONLY the column for 25 C/77F. This is for refracts and swing arms and NOT floating hydrometers. For floating hydrometers you take the reading from the left column also and then you MUST go to the column that is the same temp as the tank temp.
