I was just wondering if anyone collects ORP values. If so, do you find it useful. I was thinking of adding a ORP probe to my setup, and if it would be worth the money spent.

I did, I ran ozone at the time and wanted to control a generator. Ultimately it became too much of a worry with children in the house and my ability to capture off gassing with carbon so I switched to UV and stopped looking at ORP (apex system). It's probably the best way to notice if you have an abnormal condition like a dead fish as ORP will significantly drop with increased bio load, other than that it's only useful to control ozone generation.

I watch it for use of ozone, but like mentioned above, it's good for catching a big dip...
