Yup add fresh water. Also it's not recommended to make a tank a reef tank for atleast a year...
You mean RO water or tap water, I'm assuming RO water, but not much water has evaporated from tank yet. Also who says its not recommended to make a reef tank for at least a year?

What ever water you are using preferably RO. Hah! sorry that was a silly question easy tto fix take some water out and replace it. Most good sources of information for beginner salt water tanks. I did my research and members of tthe saltwater community in my area

A year is pretty unnecessary. As long as you have bio load to keep your bacteria happy you can add corals withing a couple months of your tank being cycled. Just make sure you do your research on every piece you buy.
