BTW I am pretty sure your skimate is watery (wet skimmate) and that can SERIOUSLY suck up your saltwater. So if you see that your level is low, not all might be due to evaporation and you might actually be lowering your salinity when adding freshwater for top-off while most of them are not due to evaporation. So always check your salinity before adding top-off.

OH thank you holding 1.024 and trying to lower some more...

Why are you trying to lower it? If anything, I'd say it should be higher.

Why lower?! Keep it between 1.024-1.026
