No Nitrate tests tonight. Did one earlier in day, and I'm beginning to get the impression that this may take a while.
ORP: 187mV pH: 7.19 Drip Rate: 0.8 drops/sec

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.
