I just recently finished (and published with "Articles Base" and
"ezine articles") an article about the Redox Potential in Aquariums
and how it pertains to a healthy aquarium (or pond). I spent a lot of
time researching this as I have noticed and documented differences with
aquariums (I mostly used goldfish for these tests) with UV sterilizers
maintaining a Redox Potential around 300-350 mV, but was not sure why
health, vitality and especially disease resistance were improved. The
goldfish had less incidence of such infestations as anchor worms which
UV sterilizers cannot truly eradicate due to difficulty killing them in
the UV itself and that Anchor Worms do not get readily caught up in the
water column. The Redox Potential explains a lot of the results I was
getting.
A Redox Potential in the 200-400 mV range in human studies has been
shown to have the same affect as anti-oxidant preparations such Vitamin
C (and many others).
