Low Salt?

The strangest thing is happening in my 2.5 gallon.

I would expect the salt levels to increase, but for some strange reason, they are low?

I have a cabon filter with one of those white filters on my nanofilter, I have a small, reliable heater, I have added ro/di saltwater (which tests at the proper levels) only.

I added a heaping tablespoon of mediteranian sea salt to my 2.5 this am and there was barely any change.

Since I wanted to move to the 5.5 gallon I decided to do it then so I acclimated my LR and corals and switched to the 5.5 gallon.

Should I add the substrate too? If I do will it sift to the bottom under the sand?

At any rate, what would cause this peculiar low salt reading anyone know?

Well, if you figure this out send me a message.

Someone at the LFS said it might be that I was low on some ingredient (hard to tell, could it be calcium?), some mineral perhaps besides salt?

Any ideas?
 
ahhahaha

Ok, let's all laugh together now...I read the hydrometer like a thermometer(there's one inside it)! I guess that explains it eh? Thermometer numbers go up, hydrometer numbers go opposit..gotcha.:smokin:
