If you eant to raise it put some salt water (low salintey) and add it for top off water that will slowly rise it to where you want it.

I hope you mean 30 ppt not ppm(parts per thousand versus parts per million). The easiest way is to top off with salt water instead of fresh water. Also start mixing your salt for water changes at the level that you desire. These two steps should adjust it nice and slow so as not to shock any tank inhabitants. Once you reach your desired salinity go back to topping off with fresh water to replace evaporation.
