Low Salt?

[winland]

I have a 125g mixed reef with a 50g sump/refugium
System has been set up for about 1 year old.

My salt level is low... 1.022sg with a calibrated refractometer.

What is the best way to raise my sg?
Should I use saltwater for top offs for a couple of weeks? What sg should the top off be?

Should I do a 10% water change(s) with increased sg (1.030)?
Some other method?

How will bringing the sg back to normal (1.025 - 1.026) effect my ph / Alk/ Calcium levels?

Top off with salt water slowly over a few days until you get to your desired SG level. My 2cents

Agreed, don't panic just take your time & slowly get it back up & you'll be fine!

If you have have a water change coming up make your new water alittle stronger.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the good advise.
I will top off with "salted" water and gradually raise the sg.

Either way will work just do it slowly...
