What's the best way to raise my salinity?

I'm just under 1025 and would like it at 1026... Should I just add saltwater in place of adding freshwater to my top off??

I personally would not worry about changing it that little. Best way is to just do a water change with 1.026 next time.

you might want to do a water change and add more salt to your top off water. really would not worry about .001

Adding premixed salt water as your top water is the best. You want to raise it slowly.

I agree that you want to raise it slowly, and I also agree that .001 isn't a huge deal.
