best ozone?

anything that is corona discharge and not uv discharge should be ok, more importantly and costly is how you plan on monitoring and controlling ORP, if you are injecting it into your  skimmer also make sure to carbon on the air coming out and carbon on the outflow of your skimmer

basically ozone is free radicals which generally is degraded instantly when its injected into water, but any residual that makes it into the air is very dangerous for humans/animals. 

I have heard of people using this one I think I saw it on Ryans tank when I was there

not sure wish it said but it doesnt

I have been using this one for a few months now. It is the way to go I think. It doesn't take long to raise up the ORP. Maybe a half hour to recover from 300 to 375.

Just make sure to use a controller. I think the best way to go is a neptune controller of some sort since a stand alone orp controller is ~$100. Why not put that towards a Neptune of some sort?

Also make sure your skimmer is safe for ozone use. The skimmers made with cast acrylic are resistant to the effects of ozone where as the extruded acrylic bodies are not. It is also important to point out that the use of ozone via a skimmer actually is not the most efficient method for adding ozone to your tank. It inhibits the skimming process because it oxidizes organics that the skimmer is supposed to remove BEFORE they are oxidized. Ozone addition via a pressurized ozone reactor allows you to get the maximum benefit from ozone by saturating the small volume of water inside the reactor with ozone. By doing this, the residual ozone does not enter into the sump or the aquarium although it still will need to pass through a small carbon chamber after the reactor.  There are many DIY plans for ozone reactors, you can use the pricey MTC setup as a reference when building one. http://www.marinetechnical.com/page6.html

 

WOW THATS A SPENDY UNIT.......MAN WHEN DID FREE CORAL FROM OCEAN AND PVC PLASTIC PARTS REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR A YEAR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!



IM ON A MISSION TO FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN PICK AND SHIP CORALS FOR 5 BUCKS----------THIS IS FREAKIN REDICULOUS

I shouls known pluggin into my skimmer was to easy, of course it can't just be done there.
OK so now I need figuring out how to run my ozone safely.
So my fish or me being in danger really upsets me.....Eric why havent you told me if no one else will?

thanks buddy, gotta roll....... lets chat tomorrow k
