Hi all I’m new to salt water I’ve had fish tanks in the past but always wanted to do marine so my question is if my salinity is 1.026 can i add more saltwater or ro to top up the tank

Welcome! Always top off with ro water as the salt does not evaporate! Keep testing occasionally though as salt Creep and time can slowly drift that salinity!
