crazy ORP

[Cpage101]

anybody give me a reason for this elevated crazy orp readings this morning. Probe going bad? it is over a year old.

Normally that means your tank is processing organics really effectively. Do you have biomedia of some sorts ? Don’t think your using ozone or a oxidater. Using peroxide?

no peroxide, no ozone, I have a ton of turnover and water movement though, so I’m guessing minimum CO2 in water column. I have never seen it so scribbly on the chart as well as so high. I disconnected the CO2 scrubber to see if it made a difference. I feel like the probe is failing though as I can’t believe my ORP is this high the way I feed and dose aminos. Other than reading high everything looks to be okay.

I wouldn’t mess with the co2 unless your ph is too high.

yup
