Is it normal for salinity to drop slightly every few days and if so what’s the best way to go about raising it? Thank you

It’s not normal for salinity to drop. Are you manually topping off ?

Salinity should not drop, unless you are adding to much top off water as James mentioned.

To much water dilutes, usually it is reverse, water evaporates and does not get topped off, so salinity concentrates or goes up.

What size tank, I would recommend and ATO, or at least mark a water line, get the salinity just right and keep top off just to the water line
