Salinity went up.

[Notsolostfish]

Iv been running awc for sometime now through neptune 1% a day on a 150G my watef always been stable salinity at 1.026 i confirm with hydrometer, and milwaukee as well. Today i tested and its 1.027. I always tested 1.026 and while 1.027 is no big deal dont want it to go up.

I tested the mixing bin and it was at 1.027 seems like it went up. From evaporation. Would that be the reason my salinity went up?

assume you're using roti pure water for replacement

When doing daily AWC, the two ways to adjust for possible pump mismatch or anything else that caused salinity to get off target is to adjust the new water salinity to slowly compensate, or adjust the times of the different pumps separately. I adjust salinity and keep
Both pumps on the same timer.

Do u think the 1.027 in the bin is the reason my salinity went up in the display?
