Low orp reading with apex

[Themako1]

So my tank is about finished cycling and I'm getting stabilized readings of around 170 with the orp probe. The apex has been setup for a couple weeks now, so my question is should I care about this value from now? Does it mean bad water?

No, I'd just ignore ORP unless using ozone. It is not any indication of the health of the tank, IMO.

I discuss it here:
