Re: Ozone, do you use it? I suspect that your dissolved oxygen is already very high. In that case, the O2 will simply bubble out in your skimmer or reactor
------------------------------------------------------
It runs pretty normal, but my skimmer does produce a very large amount of oxygen (5 cfm) so I would imagine that is doing the same thing.
If somebody uses enough ozone to reduce foam production, I think they are using WAY TOO MUCH! The nice thing about O3 is that a little goes a long way. I'm sure you would agree!
---------------------
Well not WAY to much but if you run it so that it stops the skimmer then yea it sure does defeat the purpose of having a skimmer. I do run alot of it though, my bioload is pretty high with larger fish. I use a 1/2 gram unit and keep it pretty cranked up. Carbon on the out put of the skimmer and ont the out put of the air take all residual ozone out though, my orp is always pegged at the same range.
Birdlady just make sure you use the carbon and you will be safe with out a probe. Also take it real slow lighting wise. I actually recommend folks treat starting with ozone as if they are upgrading their lighting. The percentage of extra light you will be putting into the tank will be quite a bit more then with normal reef tank water.
