Brackish tank question?

I have a 29 gallon tank.

I am planning on making it brackish and getting a gymnothorx tile.

it is freshwater right now.

Can someone explain to me what salinity to have before I get him, assuming he is in freshwater when I buy him. What salinity should he be at completely? How much salt do I add at a time?

    You will need a hydrometer and need salinity between 1.005-1.010

    When you get him do a drip method to get him use to your tank, drip method is very easy and most effective way of adding fish.

    Drip method Need airline with a tee, drip 3 drops per second in bucket for 1 hour.
