Salinity dropping why?

Really the only way for your salinity to go down is if you loose water and replenish with freshwater. If there are no leaks in the tank and no major signs of salt creep, I would have to suspect maybe a incorrect initial reading aswell.

To bring the salinity back up slowly you can just replenish evaporated water with mixed saltwater (1.025) over the next few days. With a tank that small you should be checking salinity a little more often till everything stabalizes. Good luck and keep us informed.
