    Which to trust? Refracto or Hydrometer?

    I recently purchased a refractometer from Marine Depot and it says my salinity is higher then what the hydrometer says. I think i should trust the refracto but that means id have to add a good amount of RO/DI water. Go with the refracto reading and add fresh ? TIA
