have not tested. the rock was covered in newspaper and soaked then placed in a leaf bag. it was out for about 3 hours. i scrubbed the crap outta the rock and fresh water dipped it though. it was infested with bubble and hair alge. the hair alge was literally 3 inches long. i need it to cycle pretty fast cause of the hawkfish. i dont think its gonna last long where i got it. i have nowhere to take it. i hope your right ill test tonight and tommorrow
