ORP

[T1KARMANN]

Water parameters have always confused me

can someone explain to me ORP and Redox

is their any need to keep a eye on the reading of them in a FW tank

ORP is Oxidation - Reduction Potenti

As far as i know it's not really a big deal in FW there are less elements in FW as so ORP is not woth messuring

ORP correlates with dissolved oxygen, and inversely correlates with your pH.

• Things that lower ORP: Dysfunctional Skimmer, increased biological reactions, poor gas exchange.
• Things that raise ORP: Good skimming, a few chemicals, good gas exchange, photosynthesis.

what about conductivity

ORP is measured in milliVolts (mV)
