A very important thing is that You have to use different calibration fluids for the different methods of measuring salinity.
If You have hydrometer calibration fluid it is only useable for hydrometers.
Hanna electronic salinity meter has to be calibrated and that pretty often. Do as in the Hanna manual and use calibration fluid for electronic meters.

All I can say is from the video it looks like you need more movement, you could try adding an air stone and see if that moves the clownfish from the top of the tank, then you will know you need more surface movement.

Also the film on top of the water needs fixing, do you have your powerhead near your overflow, pushing the water and detritus away from the overflow?

What is the turnover of the tank? Do you have a sump?

Yes i just put another Powerhead on top of tank

my sump is running 3400L Per hour / 900 Gallon a hour

I have used a new refractometer which has showed my salinity to 1.025 but today i bought and calibrated a hanna salinity checker and it keeps showing salinity a 1.032 SG. What do i do? My clown is acting weird

I would calibrate it because it may be off because of that.

I would calibrate it because it may be off because of that.

Yeah it is normal now after calibrating

 

[sascoaquatics]

Yeah it is normal now after calibrating

ok that's great and are all inhabitants ok?

Yeah it is normal now after calibrating

What does that mean? The tank salinity was not high?
