Default Salinity Meter (Hydrometer) vs. Refractometer

So I finally got a refractometer after all these years

I placed a couple drops of RO / DI water on it, and calibrated it at 1.000 (it was reading just a hair higher).

I then placed a couple drops of water from my reef on it, and the reading was 1.028

My trusty salinity meter had a reading of 1.024 whereas my refractometer read 1.028

Wish I had one of these sooner, my salinity level is a tad bit high!
