I went back to the Ozone

BigH55

I'm that guy
Sorry guys, but after seeing my tank with the ozone and them without it, I have decied that it was time to use it again. I was noticing aalot more aldae growth and a couple of my fish aquired a little ick in the process. I may only use it periodically, but for now its on and running. Hopefully it will clear up the problems.
 
Ozone is great, as long as it's monitored, controlled and you have the proper size generator. I used it for a while a few yrs ago, but the unit I had produced too much o3 (400mg/hr) for the size tank I had and even running it with a controlled, the ORP was rising too much. I lost a few corals due to bleaching and stopped using it.
 
Its only a 50mg/hr so i run it all the time. It does great for algae control and cyano. Im probably a little overstocked so the ozone allows me to get away with it. I dont think 50mg will make my ORP go crazy. I inject it right into my skimmer and it makes the froth really dense. I do need to get the dryer of it though.
