Make sure you use salt water in the tank, not fresh. They have different specific gravity and objects are more buoyant in the salt.
Yep, I've been doing that for a long time now, except I use a 5 gallon bucket with a cover so no salt water evaporates. It's important to get the right weight slug in the arse.
