Around 1am last night my ORP took a dive (I assume because an anemone in my tank started to die- it got itself stuck in a power head despite having guards and was pretty chewed up). When I woke up this morning the ORP was at 0. I removed the anemone, but now it seems my ORP is just sitting at 0. All my other parameters are within normal range (for my lps/softy tank) and all the other tank inhabitants and corals seem perfectly happy. Could the death of the anemone have caused this issue? I have not calibrated the ORP probe and I do not have the chemical on hand to do it. I know ORP probes are typically pretty useless if you don’t run ozone (which I do not). I guess my main concern is predicting a potential tank crash due to the anemone dying… thoughts?

I run daily 10g AWCs and it’s a 210g tank. I pulled and cleaned the ORP probe also this morning and did a restart on the apex with no change.
