Don’t seem to be able to watch the videos. Has something changed ?

Try using the mobile site instead of the app and see if that works. There are quite a few different issues with the new site and different OS.

Soooooo...turns out water temp makes a HUGE! difference in salinity! 1.029 gos to 1.026 when heated from 50 to 80 degrees! also my DOS takes out 4% more salt water then it puts back for auto water change:( Thus i need to add 1.032 salt water just to keep salinity at 1.026. Let me know if you think my math is wrong please.

If I watch on my phone(Android) I have to download the data to chrome and watch it in my gallery.

I think that it isn’t that the salinity (as in how much salt is in the water) changes. It’s that the temp affects the reading because it it’s a measure of density / specific gravity.

Maybe try something like this?

Use that to measure both the new SW and the tank and just adjust the new stuff to match the level you want.

I kinda get where your coming from but no 1.029 salt water when heated from 50 t0 80 degrees ...goes to 1.026...so when i take into account that my makeup water is 50 degrees and my DOS is 4% shy i need to add 1.032 salt water!
