    It seems the general consesus is ORP is alomost useless because it gets swayed eaily. I undertstand if you don't clean your probe daily the readins are off. ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential and without getting technical (I couldn't anyway) iit is a measure of how healthy your aquarium is based on its potential to oxidize stuff.
    Randy will explain it more correctly than I - Read here:

    Just use the ORP BCN connector to run a second ph probe for your calcium reactor....

    That does not apply to the ACII. Which is the reason I just upgraded to the ACIII.
