Hi Mikk,

I would have expected the ORP reading to drop after a water change.

As to the more powerful lights contributing, I am unsure.

i have a feeling my controller may be knackered:mad:only had it 4 weeks

my orp usually drops after a water change,never gone higher.derek

[mikk1301]

done a p.h test and its reading 8.2-8.3,the orp/ph controller is reading 0.88:confused: and ozone is at 668:eek:so i feel the controller is a tad f***ed:D,just wondered do the probes dislike being fully immersed up to the top or are they a sealed unit,as the problem started after the water change where the water level in the sump totally immersed the probes over the top:owhere the wire goes into the probe
