A set of replacement probes would be a cool giveaway

One of your better streams for useful information, nice topic and collaboration

Just added Poseidon 200. My ORP has been hanging around 280 average. I set ozone at 2/10 running 4 hrs per night. Programmed apex to turn on if ORP <320 and off when ORP reaches 400 or if protein skimmer is off. Hopefully I’m not missing anything.

I wish I’d made the live stream so I could ask the Neptune guy why the conductivity probes on all three of my tanks read in the 3.0 range and all three fail to calibrate, no matter how many “how to calibrate” videos or r2r threads I read about temp acclimating, holding at an angle, etc, etc. They all give out of range errors during acclimation and I’ve read all the threads on what to do. Nothing works. Three different tanks…

Regarding apex orp out of the box, is it already calibrated? I’m looking to run ozone on my tank and I was just wondering this, thanks.

My orp crashes when i do a water change

How do you install and calibrate the orp probe? Can’t find any videos. Does it come calibrated from the factory?
