For the last month my salinity has been reading 1.026 and now it is reading 1.027 but I haven’t changed the water or anything recently. Anyone know how it could be increasing??

Are you topping off with fresh water consistently?For the last month my salinity has been reading 1.026 and now it is reading 1.027 but I haven’t changed the water or anything recently. Anyone know how it could be increasing??
Yes we have an ATO with RODI water in it.Are you topping off with fresh water consistently?
Now I will be more thoughtful and monitor salinity more frequently. I check it once a month but top off consistently so I haven’t been monitoring.Yes we have an ATO with RODI water in it.
No we haven’t been doing anything like that.Now I will be more thoughtful and monitor salinity more frequently. I check it once a month but top off consistently so I haven’t been monitoring.
Are you dosing anything?
Have you calibrated your refractometer recently? Or whatever you use to measure?No we haven’t been doing anything like that.
We had the guys at our fish store calibrate it for us. But that was about a month ago tooHave you calibrated your refractometer recently? Or whatever you use to measure?
If you put RODI in it, where is it? Should be at 1We had the guys at our fish store calibrate it for us. But that was about a month ago too

Should be at 0 if you’re looking at ppt and at 1 if you’re looking at specific gravity. I think the refractometer needs to be recalibrated. I would highly recommend purchasing a 35 ppt calibration solution for peace of mind. In general if you are topping off you shouldn’t see those numbers creeping up unless you’re dosing which can cause a slight change.It’s at 2
