Well yesterday I moved my BC 29 aquarium to another location to make room for the 210g. I moved everything and had it setup within 2 hours, but when rushing through my salt level dropped from 1.024 to 1.022, how can I safetly raise it back up? Everything in the aquarium fish and coral seem fine, but with the move and the new salt level im sure they could be happier.

Just top off with saltwater till you get it where you want it.

One thing I would keep in mind is that if you raise the salinity more than .002 in a short period of time, it could freak out the corals and/or fish. I know you are right at that limit, trying to go from 1.022 to 1.024, but for others reading this thread, do this with discretion.
