Can someone please explain ORP, what it is exactly and why it is important in the reef environment? Thanks!

ORP is a very in depth subject. Just know the high and low limits of it. In short it is the strength of your water condition to fight off bad bacteria. I believe the range should be around 300-400. Google that i could be off a little on those numbers.

Thanks! That is a better answer then I have been able to come up with on me own! Sometimes laymans terms can be really helpful!

Thanks again!
