whats you goal with ozone?

I think running a UV sterilizer is a safer option for water clarity. Ozone can discolor acrylic and even make it brittle.

I'm thinking of using it with Glass tank not Acrylic

Gotcha, I was thinking about the skimmer as this is where the ozonizer usually gets injected to. Thin acrylic bodied skimmers have been known to crack over time as well as discoloring which isn't a deal breaker but one of the side effects of using ozone. Heard the smell ozone emits is nice n sweet though lol

I'd say go for it! It's not popular tech but I've seen some tanks use it and look pristine. Just might be tough to get help if needed since it's not widely used like it used to be.

True that!

If its simply clarify, why not just do carbon? Ozone will do more than just make your water clear. Id read up on it more. I can nuke your tank.

I already run carbon in a reactor, and I did do a research, and I am aware it can nuke my tank thats why I got the Red Sea Aqua Zone Deluxe 100 with ORP Probe connection, it monitors it to be more safe

Just going to warn you that ozone can kill you if you get it going too fiercely.

I know that is why you dial it low

It will take a lot of O3 to kill you, long after you smell it.

Just a disclaimer.

 

[joseserrano]

Well sounds like you got it jess.

NEGATIVE. Before you can smell it, it will already be causing lung damage.

Sorry, fixed it.

I guess then my question would be to the people who are alive and still use Ozone then
