Hey I’m having a hard time getting my salinity up right now is there any reasons that could be happening or is it just bc of the low amount of salt I’ve put in and continue to add.

Yup, please add to 1.023 for fish only, otherwise 1.025-1.026 or 35ppt.

Assuming your using a refractometer.

put more salt in there brother. Keep a power head that really pushes the water around in there.
