The ORP level isn't really going to change unless you run Ozone. What are you currently testing with? I have a hydrometer and some salifert kits. I can run over if need be. I'm in thiells.

Joe is correct. Conductivity measured by ORP is a reflection of organics in water. If you're not running ozone you're at little risk of it being high. And if it's low <300 you should be doing water changes and increasing skimming IMO.
What's wrong with the tank?

Rob has been battling hair algae problems. Here's his past thread (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=281073&perpage=25&pagenumber=1)

The hair algae as started to reside a little again (Fingers crossed).

Whats been really scary is I also have the SPS frags dieing. The LPS has lost allot of color.
