How much salt would I add to bring my salinity up to 1.026 or 1.027. It's a 90g and I run Kent's reef pro.

You're not really low.
If you wanted to raise it, just add a few gallons o's salt water over the course of a few days for top off rather than rodi.

Agreed. It's not a big cause for concern. Just make sure you do not add salt directly to the tank. Mix it and top off with salt water. It'll creep back up. You don't want to change the salinity quickly. Bear in mind that natural seawater is 1.023 on average.

i agree, number one problem new people have is chasing numbers with parameters. make changes slow only if needed

Word on the diatom bloom, you may or may not have a huge diatom bloom. My 40's bloom was insane, almost disgusting, where as my 10 gallons was tiny and almost unnoticeable.
