Hydrometers are usually inaccurate. They tested salinity with a refractometer at J&L. 1.028 is quite high. Should aim for 1.024-1.026.

If you need one, I have a spare Brand New Refractometer I'm selling for $35. I knew a local reefer who completely wiped out her tank because her 4 hydrometers were all off and by the time she checked with my refractometer, her tank's salinity was 1.012 or brackish.
