You can top off the tank at any time by using enough water conditioner to treat the amount being added (not the whole tank),

The more often you do water changes on the fry tank, the better growth you will experience. You can't do water changes too often for them. I do water changes every 3 days or so on my fry tank.

It should probably be mentioned that you shouldn't get in the habit of only putting in more water to top it off. It's ok every once in a while, but when water evaporates it leaves all the minerals and such behind. If you were to keep replacing water only when it evaporated the mineral concentration would keep rising and rising until it was lethal. Best to take water out as well whenever you can.
