Thanks Swifty, I was just wondering if there is any efficiency difference between the two designs. It looks to me that one of them has more air space inside. It seems to me that a larger internal air space would slow down the color change time, but I'm sure surface area is a bigger factor. Surface area of the tank water interacting with the air in the drop checker and surface area of the indicator solution. I'm glad to hear that my suspicions are either false or this just is too small of a scale for it to really have an effect.
