I have been trying to read about ORP and UV... I have a UV sterilizer that I was talked into buying. I also have the ability to add an ORP probe on my controller. Is there any benefit to adding both or either of these units to my mixed reef 54g system? I was wondering if I ran the ORP probe to trigger the UV when it got low... If this would help keep things running better... I also have a skimmer well or over rated for my system already...
Please help a newer reefer that has invested in a UV sterilizer and wants to get my obey worth, lol, I know...

I wouldn't bother with either. This article discusses ORP:

You might have looked at it. An ORP controller can be useful as a safety net when running ozone, but otherwise isn't very useful, IMO.

The UV sterilizer can help with bacterial and phytoplankton blooms, so it might be worth keeping around, but I wouldn't run it in general. I don't see any benefit.
