kay I did a salinity check and its not good.
the tank is a 55g, I bought 50 gallons of distilled water, and only used 42, I put in almost a whole bag of salt, and the hydrometer only reads1.015

I added the bulk of the salt last night, and then I have added some today, I have had the powerhead running all day, and for two hours I have added an external filter.

I would give some more time for it to mix (usually 24 hours or so). Also like Grins pointed out your hydrometer could be inaccurate. You may want to check your salinity at a LFS that has a refractometer to be sure.
