    How big of a water change are you doing. If it is a small amount you will probably be alright.

    I would just add the water slowly and watch your SG as you go. If anything, you can take some water out and replace it with fresh RO/DI water to lower your SG.

    It will take a little while for the salinity to be equal in the whole system, wait a little before you test.
