View Full Version : Orp/ozone

I've got an Aquamedic Ozone & ORP unit.

My tank has only been up since end of June 2005.

When I first started using ozone about a month ago my MV was just 230mv. It now reads about 440mv and my ozone unit is not even plugged in...

I've tested the ORP meter in the AM test fluid and it reads fine, at 239mv.

Questions:

Do you think this ORP reading is normal/right?

Would you advise using ozone in small amounts, for about 15mins at night?

mine is between 450 and 470 all the time without any ozone. Everything seems to be spot on so I've no cause for concern!

I've read that the ideal target is around the 350-450 mark but anything over 500 could potentially kill everything in the tank :blink:
