Redox probe reading issues

[AZMSGT]

@Vinny@GHLUSA , @Ditto
So I just calibrated all my probes.

The Redox reading has me concerned... sorta.. not really sure what Redox is and why it’s important.

However prior to the Calibration I was getting a -226 reading in my tank.. ok no big deal. Time to calibrate it. Post calibration my tank reads -4 to -6 on redox. I’m guessing the ideal setting should be +220 since that is what the calibration fluid is and the default settings are in that +220 range.

So, since Redox is reading low on a tank that is cycling is this a concern?

It took my redox probe a couple weeks to reach "normal" level. I can't remeber if it was low or high, but it took a while before it stabilized

Redox probes new out of the box need some days to start to give accurate readings.
You should make sure reading in calibration process is around the reference solution 220.
With the Redox, there is no magic number to have in a Reef tank.

+1 to earlier comments. Just let it soak for couple of weeks it will adjust and stabilize.

How did you setup go btw? Easy enough I hope

So far so good. I'm not doing anything to exotic yet so I'm not having to much difficulty.
