Welcome to TRT. Just perform water changes with your desired sg and it will raise gradually.

or you can top off with saltwater until you get it where you want it.

BTW ... welcome to TRT

Adding saltwater as the topoff is the easiest method. BTW, have you figured out why your sg dropped while you were away? Do you have an automatic topoff that malfunctioned?
