You just need to topoff more. If it bugs you, get an auto topoff
What do you mean top off more or an auto top off?
Top off with RO or distilled water he means or use a auto top of system that will automatically detect when the water level is low and it will pull water from another location via a pump and well... Top off your tank.
Take the glass top off and get an auto top off unit.
Its very important to keep stable salinity.
This ^^^^
What your experiencing I believe is "salt creep" someone correct me please of I'm wrong.
Unless we're missng something by taking the glass lids off you should have a pretty normal evapuration rate. This will mean your salinity will raise unless you top up with RO water. Tunze do a great auto top off system i recommend looking into that one.
Just to add i've never met anyone that keeps the glass lids on their marine aquariums.
