ORP is measured in mV
below 450 mV in the system with the animals
in theory, ozone leaves a residual at 450 mV...residual ozone would do to
your animals what the residual disinfectants from your domestic/tap water
would do (reason we dechlorinate)
however, this is theoretical; if your critters are alive and well without
signs of scratching or respiratory distress, your level of 460 mV is
probably not above the theoretical 450 mV
basically, if you are constantly feeding ozone into your system and you
haven't had problems with animals being affected, you probably won't start
having problems...unless you decrease the biomass of your system or feed
less food (less organic reduction=higher mV levels all other things being
equal)
does your ORP analyzer/probe control the ozone feed rate in the tank (is it
a feedback loop) or is it just measuring what is going on and you are
manually adjusting your ozone generator?

All, 

What do those of you who monitor your ORP try to keep it at? Mine is at
about 460, and I don't know if that is good, bad or what. I have not found
anything in my books to really help me out... 

TIA,

Shane C.
