A Salinity Refractometer & a Hanna Salinity & Temperature Tester. Wanted to have both to learn and compare numbers. Both have been calibrated per manufacturer's instructions and are reading the same.

Thank you everyone. I slowly added more salt and let it mix overnight. The salinity is now at 34.5 and the water is clear.

Welcome friend
I'd personally go for 34 or 35. If you choose to run a bit lower, you may have to dose up your main parameters (alk, calc, magnesium) to get them to typical reef levels, depending on your salt mix.

Awesome, thank you. I got it up to 34.5 and based on your's and previous comments I'm thinking I'm good to move forward. Next step is staying consistent when mixing salt without having to add more RODI water here and more salt there.Welcome friend

I would keep it at 24/25 for beginners it's right in the middle and will give you space with any mistakes going over or under.
