Do you measure redox potential in your tanks?

If so, what equipment do you use, who makes good calibration
fluids are proven the best and what are your readings?

I have read a little about this ORP and it is recommended
as a quick check of helth status of your tank water...
Lower the ORP potential the more dissolved organics
and less oxigen for animals... They say it is necessary
measurment/control if you dose ozone or hydrogen peroxide
- they both rise ORP quite rapidly and without measuring
you are running a risk of overdosing...

Do you have your own experience to share with the group?
