So it's the oxygen to organic matter Ratio that's what I got out of that

I got this set up from a local reefer for a sweet deal have a auto feeder and a rack of probes with it just like the fact I'm going to be gone for a few days 7 in fact and can press a button and feed or turn my lights on thanks

Yeah basically it'll rise up or down if something big dies or if something is wrong. And is good when it comes to using a ozone generator. Just another thing that puts your mind to ease.

Nice score on the used Apex.

Got lucky with mine. Paid $270 for the Apex Base Unit, Energy Bar 8, Apex Display Module, Temperature Probe, Lab pH Probe.
Then I bought the break out box and added a ato and the ALD module with a leak detector. Gonna add more soon.

I have the ORP probe on my apex too. I don't run Ozone so the probe is of little value. From day one in my new tank with 100% new saltwater it has ready very high (440). I unplugged everything in the sump and tank to eliminate possibility of stray voltage affecting meter, and no change in ORP reading. So now I just ignore the thing until the probe dies and I can justify throwing it out.

Any one down to do a walk threw and help me out with hooking this darn thing up on my phone or how do you see it on my computer
