I trust those better that's good.

So I'm highly curious if, after a ten gallon sw change and a set back to half a ppm, if it can move any in 24 hours.

And then to see what's the max it can move afterwards, if any, increase maybe .5 per day till we see maximum earned after sixty days submerged

We w know in a few days some neat ways your tank either does or doesn't line up with typical cycling setups.

Lol, the tank is 10gal That would mean 100% water change.

Did test today out of boredom, moving very slow so far.
