I usually just mix up a couple gallons on the hight side and add a little at a time .. Never thought about trying that way ..

I agree with buckeyefan, mix some new water on the high side and pour in slowly, wouldn't want to shock anything on accident

When I want to raise salinity I just use mixed water as my top off. You really should do it slowly. Can be to much of a shock to raise it all at one time.
