Just bought a Apex system from BRS. So it seem my orp is at 163-164 right now, is it normal to be this low? Also PH at 8.07. Anyway to bring up the Orp if it's too low?

Tell us a bit about your tank! :-) ORP is a fairly complex size all together. What sort of filtration do you have on your tank?

Ultimately, the number doesn't really matter much in itself; do you experience issues that could relate to poor water quality / low clarity?

The probe will take at least a week to settle down if it is new.
 
There’s no need to maintain ORP unless you run Ozone.
