confused....

I dont know what to do, I checked my specific gravity with my instant ocean hydrometer and it read 1021, I went to petco and just bought the kent hydrometer and it read 1026, I did the test about 3 times with those two and the reading did not change, so I ordered the milwaukee MA 887 digital refractometer and it reads 1019 !!!! also, three different times the same reading. I dont know who to believe

If the Milwaukee is calibrated properly I would trust that.

I calibrated with distilled water as per the instructions, so you think i should disregard the other two?

Yes.

hydrometers are not a great way to check the salinity. i would also order 1.026 calibration fluid im sure you can get it from a number of places and calibrate it that way.
