| red tide |
a red or brown discoloring of surface waters, usually in coastal regions, caused by extremely high concentrations of plankton (often dinoflagellata). The poisonous substances produced by the algae result in a massive number of fish and marine mammal deaths and illnesses, and the decomposition of algae at the end of the cycle robs the water of large amounts of oxygen.

This is a scientific term referring to the reduction-oxidation potential of the water. Its measurement gives an indication of how an aquarium will be able to sustain life. A high value is better than a low. The redox potential refers to an electrical charge on a molecule that has transformed in a chemical reaction. In a nutshell, it tells you how easily chemical reactions are taking place in the tank.
