It's called a refractometer. Does it say it's for measuring salinity? Have you had them calibrate it for you, before you used it? If not, you should. Look on the right side & read the SG & post that here.
Where are you from?

Uh-oh. Two GSPs will need 60g. To answer your question, they grow slowly (relative to other puffers), but not slowly enough for 20g.

My GSP took about 8 months to grow an inch, if that helps.
