    My Saltwater is at 1.023, I would like to get it to 1.026. I just mixed up 10 gallons of reef crystals saltwater for my change on Sunday and it is at 1.026. Will it go up overtime or do I need to put extra salt in my water change water to get it to go up. The tank is doing well I just don't want to stress the fish out with a sudden change.

    Just top off with saltwater @ 1.026 untill your tank matches it then go back to RODI water for top off. I don't know the size of your tank so you could increase the salinity faster than you want with the 10gal water change. But it depends how big of a tank you have.

    Thanks for the tip, I will top off with the 1.026 saltwater. It's an 85 gallon tank

    You'll want to raise salinity gradually, so topping off would be perfect.
