Salinity dropping why?

[swill]

I guess I should have said that I have 2 other tanks a 300 gal fowlr and a 90 gal reef. The salinity in these tanks are always consistent so I know the meter is not the problem. Is it possible that the salt is settling to the bottom. There is not much flow in the tank just the filter from factory

No, that's not possible. Salt won't settle out. If the testing device is accurate, there is more topoff water going in than evaporating. Which doesn't make a lot of sense unless the tank is half full. Or you have automated topoff that isn't working right.

Salt will sometimes migrate to areas of lower concentration (Diffusion). To combat this line the rim of your tank with something saltier than the tank's water. This will effectively contain your salinity.

I'd recommend a MFF or McDonald's Fry Fence.
