You need a hydrometer it will show you the salinity you need.

possible loss due to salt creep? try a water change with slightly higher salinity maybe? just careful if you drop and salt in the tank even little bits of creep, i had a little piece of creep from the lid land on my trumpet coral and it was only there for a couple seconds before i blew it off with the turkey baster but it created an open wound where it killed a little chunk of flesh... healed eventually though
