Dissolved oxygen meters seem to be minimum $150. Is this a valuable piece of information to track for a reef aquarium?

Depends on you level of curiosity.  It's not on the list of reef necessities at all.  But it would be a VERY interesting data point to have available occasionally.

 

Meters have an Achilles heel though....they require routine calibration.  So you only want a meter for a parameter that really is truly important to monitor in real time.

 

If you were running a high-density fish operation, the answer would go the other way.....mandatory.
