New to ORP/Ozone

[Falcar]

Good morning all!
About two weeks ago I added an ORP probe and about a week ago I added an ozone generator. My ORP was slowly rising in the 300-range but this morning I woke up to this:

Not sure what could be going on here. Any ideas on things to check?

Dirty probe? Snail on it? Not many things will drop ORP that much except test error.

Adding a reducing agent such as vitamin C would drop ORP a ton, but would likely be faster than that.

Feeding anything different?

Dosing iron? Hydrogen peroxide? Both reduce ORP.

I haven't made changes. I'll check the probe though, something might have gotten on it or something.

Thanks so much!

FWIW, a big dead fish or other dead creature might also drop ORP like that.

Do you dose anything? I see a drop when I add amino’s or something like NoPox.

I ended up rinsing the probe and it came back! Thanks for the tips guys, I hadn't thought of looking at the probe as it was fairly new.
