Need help

Tank volume 700 gallons, salinity at 1.026, magnesium at 1100. Want to raise mag to 1400. I am gonna use Epsom salt with the amount of 7841.6 grams / 276.6 oz. I want to know how much salinity it will get effected.. TIA.
I will replenish mag chloride by doing water change..

The effect on salinity will be very small, and probably not measurable unless you're using a good conductivity meter. I would ignore it. I would leave the magnesium lower, but 1400 ppm should be safe.
