What tank do you have running, FO, FOWLR or reef? Dependant on what one you have will drive the answer....

Reef tank

That's about as close to natural seawater as you can get when it comes to calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. whatever you're doing is working so far. And, as the old addage goes, if it aint broke, don't fix it

There is ONE thing that you can fix.....the TERMS. 1.027 is NOT your salinity...it's your SPECIFIC GRAVITY. Salinity is a percentage. Your Salinity is probably around 35-36%. SH
