I posted an other post about my Milwaukee refratomete being un accurate. I decided to check my salinity today in my tank with 3 different things here are some pictures I'm so confuse about my salinity at this point because of the Milwaukee telling me that's it's at 1.023 and the other 1.026. Help please any advice or which one should I go by here are some pics

First off swing arms are notoriously unreliable. Plus the stated accuracy of the Milwaukee is I think +- 0.02 so it looks as if it's in the ball park.
The instructions do say to calibrate it before EVERY use.

I do calibrate it but the Milwaukee is telling me like 3 different readings 1.022 then after another sample I get 1.024 that's why I'm not trusting it so much right now.

Does anyone just use a simple glass hydrometer?
