Measuring Salinity

Hi all,

I started my tank about 4 months ago and I wish I would have found these podcasts back then. Invaluable, thank you so much for doing this!

I've got a quick question about measuring salinity. I've got one of those plastic salinity tests that you fill with water and the little platic arrow points to the specific gravity. I noticed my specific gravity has above what I wanted so over the past week i've put in fresh RO/DI water to help bring it down. I've put in about 7 gallons in a 65 gallon tank and the gravity hasn't changed. I'm a little concerned that this plastic thing is lying to me.. I'm wondering if these things are reliable or should I be using something else to get accurate results.

Thanks for any help.
