Hey everyone. So my apex salinity reading has been around 37. Is this a lil high for the tank? Should i try to add some ro water to drop the salinity? And how much should i add and how often?

You always add fresh water to your tank for a top off. What I do is I get a expo marker and mark where the water line is and if it lowers than I put more fresh water in. But now I just own a auto top off lol

You need to check your salinity with something else. Wasn’t until I sent my water it for testing that I realized my 35 salinity Apex reading was actually only 32.

Don't believe apex salinity probe unless you have recently Calibrated or verified with a 2nd source.
