You could try about 4 cups and test again tomorrow and see where that brings you.

Re: Salinity Question
But make sure you dont just dump it in the tank if there are any fish or corals in there. I would mix it in like a gallon or two of ro/di water.then add it

Back up what home depot said if you dont pre-mix the salt for 24 hours you can kill your fish from lack of oxygen. to raise it that much you would want to use mixed ro/saltwater, instead of clean ro several times to bring it up not to stress the fish,

Re: Salinity Question
Well Board so I'll Post my 2 cents too.
I agree with what all is posted, 8 to 12 hrs is usually enough time to oxygenate your water and bond all sea salt mix agents together, Just use a high volume circulating pump and have the water at your tanks Temperature and adding slowly is fine but most corals and fish acclimate quickly to Salinity Change.
