their also is a breakin for new probes I belive that it is near two days,
a lot of probes/displays are out of calibration also that could show a high number.

Clean your probe with a 50 /50 water , vinegar solution. Let it soak for an hour and then use a soft toothbrush to brush it clean. Then recheck your orp.]]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:40:06 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12407&PID=133099&title=orp-redox-too-high#133099 <![CDATA[ORP / Redox too high? : I know this is a old post but...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12407&PID=133093&title=orp-redox-too-high#133093 Author: Bryguy514

I know this is a old post but my tank also reads about 500 without Ozone and just wondering how people clean there probes or does OEP need to be calibrated.

Thanks

It won't get that high on it's own. It will need an oxidizer to get that high. If you're getting reading like that, I'd say the meter is suspect.

Amie, too low is much more subjective. I'm really shooting from the hip but I'd say somewhere in the low 200s to upper 100s might be low enough to warrent investigation into your filtering/feeding/general husbandry habits.

What if it gets this high on it's own without O3,

or even with just 25 mg/l in a 120 gal tank?

We use ORP here at work to control biological life in our cooling water systems. At ~650-700 everything is dead. 500 - 650 is also lethal to most biology but it takes time (a few hours). Pristine ocean reefs are ~400 - 425.]]> Tue, 23 May 2006 10:25:07 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12407&PID=114815&title=orp-redox-too-high#114815 <![CDATA[ORP / Redox too high? : What is wrong with it being thishigh?...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12407&PID=114788&title=orp-redox-too-high#114788 Author: Mark Peterson
