Albert,

I need another category; I do monitor my ORP but it is pointless.

 

[prattreef]

How about "I used to, but it is pointless". That would describe me. RD

Cali, Pratt - you both would qualify for "Nah, its pointless."

FWIW, the poll could just as likely be asking "do you use ozone in your setup?" since typically those who are monitoring ORP are doing so to prevent an overdose of ozone.

My answer would be a simple "NO"

there may be people who monitor their ORP as an indication of water quality and dont use ozone.

seems that twinreef is the only one so far who monitors is.

Cali, Randy, Rich, too lazy to click "nah" on the poll?

Agreed, but they are definitely the exception IME.
