Salinity

[crazyfishlady]

I have a 75 gallon saltwater tank. Why would my salinity measure fine on one side and too much salt on the other?

What kind of water are you using to replace the evaporated water? Replace with salt water, and salinity spikes.

What are you using to test your salinity? A refractometer or a hydrometer. If you are using a hydrometer i might suspect that is the problem.

are you using a reliable tool to measure it?

Absolutely no flow would cause this after you just put in fresh water. Oh and using a Hydometer.

I use a hydrometer. Is that not what I should be using? I also have power pumps on eacvh side of the tank

Hydrometers are very unreliable. Invest in a refractometer.
