When I chaecked the tank this morning I noticed something strange. There was a increase in the ORP and pH readings which were significantly higher than the night before. Did not get a chance to check the drip rate but it seems to be unchanged.

ORP: 291mV
pH: 7.81

Not sure if this it a trend but I will make it a point to check in the morning and before lights out. Does anyone have any ideas what may have caused the increase overnight?....normal?

Did a few couple test and things don't seem to be going as I thought........or again maybe just to early to make any conclusions.

ORP: 326mV (Back to original range)
pH: 7.18
Drip Rate: 0.73 drops/sec

Nitrate No Change

Test DO as well and there doesn't appear to be a difference???

Your system is still quite young. DSB need time to grow their bacteria and micro fauna populations. Like others have already pointed out, it will probably be a month or more before you start seeing results.
