May want to consider a refractometer, specially if the instant ocean mini hydrometer at the bottom of your tank is all you have. Bought one when I first started as a salinity monitor and couldn't keep it on the glass long enough to tell how well it worked. A refractometer is priceless!

Tho it's a hydrometer floating thing
Works perfect tho I guess :O

Those swing arm or bobbing hydrometers are notoriously inaccurate. You should consider a refractometer.
