Jay Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Does anyone here use ozone in their tank? I have some questions about its effect on acrylic and other things. Thankyou Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghiggi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I've only used it in my hot-tub, not my aquarium, but here is an article that has some really good information: Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 1: Chemistry and Biochemistry Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 2: Equipment and Safety Ozone and the Reef Aquarium, Part 3: Changes in a Reef Aquarium upon Initiating Ozone WARNING: This is a highly technical article with more information than you ever thought you needed to know about ozone in an aquarium. There is a section in Part 2, Ozone Reaction Chamber: Suitable Materials, that gives details on compatibility issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmike Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I run an ozotech unit using my ACIII and run it thru my reeflo orca 250. Seems to work fine and I don't need to clean the glass as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I have 2 different ozone generators on the clownfish systems. I am really happy I started using it Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I was running a genx ozone generator with my controller, I just bought a Red Sea ozoniser with the orp probe and monitor built in, like it alot so far. I still monitor the orp with my controller and use it as a safety backup. when I first started using ozone there was a noticeable difference in the tank surfaces and the water. I did check with my skimmer manf Euro-reef to make sure it was safe for ozone use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVES Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I run ozone and have researched it a fair amount. Feel free to drop by and talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 ^^^ Yes Jay if you can swing in and talk with Joel. He has a nice set up from what I saw at the shop when he was puting his system together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
