Anyone with Ozone knowledge are the readings normal in the above thread

well ron, i dont personally have experience using ozone but i'm pretty sure if you are using it, it should read between 300 - 400. hope that helps

I aim for an ORP of at least 400. Dosing about 25-30mg/ml (I know its low) in a 90 gallon tank. Apparently you can go as high as 450 or so.

Thanks for your input Christy and Colin
Did a little reading: ORP reading one should stay between 300 and 350mV
This is recommened as the desirable level
Values higher then 430mV can be dangerous
Values below 200mV indicate an accumulation of organic wastes and low oxygen level

Really? What was your source? Things I've read say to keep it at 400+. Hmm, maybe I should read more. Right now I've been aiming for about 400 but hovering around 370 or so. Perhaps I should just keep it where it is
