I need some help here. I keep my tank (72-bow) salinity at .023-024. For the past 8 weeks I have noticed that it keeps trending upwards to .025-.026 Salinity is checked with a refractometer and one of those cheap plastic models. Both give the same readings.
I top-off with about 2-3 gallons per week because of evaporation(no salt added) and conduct a 10-15% water change monthly.
I have been dosing with Seachem products recently. Reef Buuilder, Marine Buffer, and Reef Advantage Calcium. to get my reef numbers up. This morning I checked my salinity and found it to be .028!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Are the seachem products raising my salinity? Suggestions for a way ot of this mess without any loss of life?
