Most saltwater refractometers are calibrated to 77 degrees or have built in temp correction

I don't hate you, I just am finding it difficult to help you when you don't listen to the advice people on here give you.

The good thing is, now you can lower it (with a water change) and should be ready to add a fish.

Mastering salinity can be tricky at first. You will get there after you make a few batches. I recommend getting a 2nd tool to measure salinity so you can always cross reference two tests if you need.

Every once in a while I break out the Tropic Marin hydrometer just to make sure my primary test is correct. Since it's impossible to to be incorrect, the TM hydrometer can come in handy despite being a pain to use.
