Hello all!
I want to share a weird series of events with my fellow reefers!
Last night at about 8 pm, I fed my fish and sat down for a movie. All was well, everything looked great!
2.5 hours later (Blade Runner 2049), after the movie, I took my usual glance in the tank before bed. To my horror, two of my healthiest colonies, a miyagi tort and a blue stag horn had RTN. In that small amount of time.
Tested my parameters, everything was normal, usual range. Out of desperation, I went and grabbed an extra grounding probe that I’d never gotten around to installing. Installed it, dipped the Miyagi in witch hazel, added a poly pad and went to bed. Woke up to a complete halt to the RTN.
Fast forward to today and I’m looking through my Apex history to see if anything was off during the time of the RTN. As you can see in the attached image, ORP appeared to completely crash at 8:30, right around the time the tissue loss would have started.............
What do you guys think? Could there be a correlation between ORP and stray voltage? Could stray voltage interfere with the ORP probe itself, causing the “crash” in ORP? This is all assuming that stray voltage was the issue and that the probe corrected the issue.
Just seems like a weird coincidence and I wanted to share.
