No I do not. I know little about and the jury is still deliberating on it.... Can't say "never'.... still watching and reading...

Re: Adding Ozone to a Reef?

works good,,,,but as everyone says,,,,effluent water and air must be treated with carbon and probes need to be kept clean.

Re: Adding Ozone to a Reef?

^Bump^ is just raising the thread to the top of the list, so more people see it. Usually people do it, if they don't get a reply for a while.

Personally I do not use ozone, but I have considered it. Right now, I wouldn't use it on my needle wheel skimmer because Euro-Reef says that o3 will decrease the skimmers producting. Althought it might clear up the water, so it is a very open ended question.

Re: Adding Ozone to a Reef?

Quote:
as the ozone oxidants ( bromine, chlorine,etc., created by the ozone) react with the carbon. This yields things like carbon oxide, chloride and bromide ( safe byproducts). Purigen is binder not a reaction media, where GAC is in this case.
