Do you monitor ORP?

[Mr31415]

And if you do, do you find analysing trends to be useful? I have read RHF's ORP article, and was just wondering how many people actually consider the investment in getting an ORP probe to be useful?

Did it actually help you to catch a problem before it became a big problem? Such as a dead, decomposing creature? Etc...

I monitor ORP. It fluctuates with pH and Temp. I can tell if someting died by seeing a dip in the reading.

I've never seen the value in monitoring ORP. Think of it this way.... if I tell you your ORP is low, do you know exactly what needs to be done to "correct" it? Given the number of variables that can affect ORP, it just doesn't seem like a terribly useful tool. For the cost, it doesn't seem worth it to me.
