Does yr ORP meter comes with calibration liquid? Calibrate to ensure accuracy in reading. ;)

Should be fairly accurate cos the first time i measure it hits the region of 290 plus before taking some time to reach 300 region. Its only recently that it hit 380, suspect the addition of additional filtration devices both mechanical & chemical.

Will nontheless do a calibration test in time to come.

A little correction, should be "not far from that" :paiseh::lol:

For those looking for a FR, give this one a serious thought, space saving as it hangs on your refugium (inside or outside), beautiful craftsmanship and good value !!!

Good move. Coralline algae will start infesting yr tank. :D

Hope so...but don't want too much of it. Once added the FR, due to too high flow some of the media escaped, now sump a little dirty...the Redox went up again after the FR addition.
