the 1/4 of water that you put back in should be almost identical to the water that you take out, having the same salinity (or specific gravity), ph, temperature etc...

The new salt water for your water change should be mixed at least a day before the intended water change to give the levels a chance to stabilize before adding it to your tank. 25% will be 4 gallons or 20 liters and the amount of salt depends how much you need to bring the Specific Gravity that of your main tank.
