The point is it makes you look, to investigate and it will respond the fastest if something is not right. Out of everything you can plug into an Apex the ORP probe will react the fastest if something has gone array, except like a leak. That is such a dumb name for the Eng. light your on the 401 your light comes on I guess you would know what is the problem. That idiot light got your attention and your are going to look to see what the cause is. Change Carbon or water well I guess you would have to think back did I just do a water change a short time ago, and also ask yourself when did I change my Carbon last. The point again it made you look. Ok just got home from work you go to see the tank do a little feeding looks good what ORP is at 180 what is going on, all this fish are accounted for, look a piece of Coral broke off and land on the Elegance and burning the crap out of it or vice versa. Again point is it made you look.
Most of the stuff I post on here like this is because I just noticed something as I was doing stuff and made me wonder or I post stuff because there are quite a few new Reefers on here that it may help or get them to seek out an answer. I have been doing this for sometime as I believe you have, but one thing I won't do is try and make someone sound like an Idiot or make wise cracks because I may not agree with them. So on that note I will try and not make anymore posts but follow yours because I guess mine are Idiotic and stupid. The Forum is yours Sir Nighthawk.
In no way was my intention to call you stupid in any way. I assure you. I know less than the majority of people on here, I can assure you of that. You have made many posts as you describe based on experience which I do enjoy, no question. I certainly hope you did not take the idiot light as a hit to you. Literally I would say most people would agree it is a more than common term, and I would also bet most have or have at least had a car with this go off, take it to a shop and not a single problem can be found. They then proceed to drive the next 100k like that all while anyone who sees it says "hey, you know your light is on, right?"
My point is essentially saying the same thing you are. You are just having a stronger appreciation for it I suppose. To me, I come home, look at the tank, and if something looks wrong, I KNOW something looks wrong. It is also just that. Perhaps it is because I am so new that I look many times a day at things. Mostly out-of curiosity, but also for concern of spotting negative change.
That is all. Apologies if you felt i was being offensive to you. I assure you, it was absolutely not my intention. We don't' all know each other here in person so perhaps it is harder online, but I can tell you one thing about me. If I mean to be offensive or basically call someone stupid, I don't' tend to leave much room for interpretation. Have a great day brother.
