just make a fresh batch of saltwater that you'll need to fill up the rest of the 72..

Just match the PH, Alk, CA etc to your existing water and you will be fine.

you could always replace 30 gallons water with new water in your existing system over time while adding the old water to the 72. then add the whole thing to the 72 after. seems less stressful/equally complicated.
