I stopped doing water changes when I was having so many issues with my tank and everything died off do to Dino minus one fish. So i haven't done water changes and now my salinity is low like a 1.019 . What would cause this?

From my experience and research, anything that seems 'weird' I do a water change.I stopped doing water changes when I was having so many issues with my tank and everything died off do to Dino minus one fish.

Yes it was at 1.026 about two weeks ago. I top off about 1.2 to 1.5 gallons daily. I rechecked the salinity cause my Alk was low. So I was checking everything.Do you know it was higher previously?

Thank you. I'll recalibrate my Milwaukie tester and try the salinity again.Unless you have a massive leak or skimmer overflow, one or both salinity values are test error. To drop from 1.026 to 1.019 means that 27% of the tank water volume was removed and replaced by fresh water (in 2 weeks). There is no other possible explanation.
