these units are pretty cheap, would appreciate any feedback from people who have used them before...

i started using that enaly last weekend on my 120g.....so far so good 
@ 200 i wouldn't get the drier(not needed)

because other brands recc. for reefs typically range from 25mg-50mg......the enaly is 200mg!
the drier makes the unit more efficient which obviously IS NOT needed with the 200mg Enaly
you can most certainly get the generator WITHOUT the drier for CHEAPER(just look around)

make sure to get a ORP Controller....either Milwaukee or Pinpoint

I used one for 2 weeks, and died. Another reefer comes to mind with similar defective enalys. I sent mine out for replacement, waiting to see how they are on the service end. I replaced the unit with a redsea ozone generator. Will keep the enaly as backup once I get it back.
Preference wise, I would go with redsea before enaly just because you can control the output on the ozone. 200 mg output on the enaly's is alot, and I used to get an ozone smell in the basement. With 50 mg, I don't smell it and orp is still the same. I was just wasting all that extra ozone.

interesting Shark Bait, one of my main concerns is no leakage cuz ozone is bad for our health...
I read a few post about the Red Sea units breaking down after a year or so and it seems they offer very poor service...
Eagles, I only plan to use the ozone once a week to clear up the water, I don't think I need to get a controller but was planning to get a pinpoint monitor though...

shark bait......a enaly on acontroller will only run when ORP drops to a certain level, so it doesn't just run all the time
Ceak..........thats fine...but for same price on PremiumAquatics you can get a Milwaukee Controller

Ceak,
very nice unit but needs a controller, like E-A-G-L-E-S said just get the milwaukee controller for 99, best bang for the buck
about ozone E-A-G-L-E-S has a good point on ONE of the reason why someone should run an air drier, see B
some more general info on the use of ozone, but with anything new I would first research it and make an informal decision, not just go by people's opinion, which can be very bias
here is an excellent long thread that should give you good info on it
Thumbs up for Ozone!
second there are many ways to go about it, few pointers
A.
coralife - junk units
red sea - seem a few bad units - has control knot
enaly - cheap powerful unit-ebay- 200mg - no control knot
Sander - seems to be the best quality - unit - but pricey
B.
them you need to have a air filter with moisture removing bids, so that the unit works at optimum performance, and the unit stays clean thus not producing nitric acid, which studies have shown
harmful to aquatic life even in low concentrations due to its acid nature
C.
them you should post carbon treat the water to make sure is clean and no bad chemicals made by the reactions reach your livestock
D.
them you need to post carbon the air output so the people close to the tank are not harm
E.
make sure the skimmer is ozone safe, ozone is a very powerful oxidant.
F.
a controller is always a good idea, so you can dial in your preferable ORP 350-420
good luck,
sam

1. isn't carbon on output of skimmer just to remove smell?
2. you need a dryer for the Enaly's? I've never heard of the nitric acid build up?

1. which out put?
output #1 water that exits the skimmer, you need to carbon filter it to stop any chemicals such as nitric acid and others
output #2 air that exits the skimmer, you need to carbon filter it to stop ozone from escaping the unit and to the surrounds in essence to protect anybody in that room
2. do a search on Google, ReefC, and you will found out that if a unit is use without air drier it will form a coat of crust over the internal parts and if not clean, will created nitric acid, and that air drier is for ALL units, not just enaly unit
again people do yourselves a favor and if you are thinking on using ozone, or for a matter of fact anything, you should research it and make a informal decision,
I like ozone but don't underestimate it
good readings

well...the lfs owner around me(also R.C. sponsor) uses these eunits in his store without dryer for the last 8 months or so with no problem? and i've read and been told it is completely not needed? That's why i asked.
i have carbon covering skimmer collector tub, covering opening around top where hose goes in...but not running any on output of skimmer into sump, AS i have read and been told that the ozone doesn't reach that far??
so i'm hearing two OPPOSITE things

E-A-G-L-E-S,
whats happenings here is simple
one side tells you to be careful and don't underestimate ozone, which
the other side tells you don't worry about it, I have been running for 8 months and i'm still alive :lol:
a unit to form that internal crust can take many months
another example, people here in reef central run SE MH over their tanks without any glass shield,
its that safe? no, but people here think is ok, but talk to any electrical inspector and or lighting place and its considered a fire hazard and should not be done
I said its a shame many lfs don't give good advice to their clients, because of lack of knowledge and or research and or trying to make a buck.
again ozone without air drier creates nitric acid, thats a fact proven,
good luck with your choice,
sam

I was running ozone for over seven years R.S no air dryer i was using carbon on the skimmer air outlet hose i had a beckett skimmer back then.
Red sea use to make a ozone detector test kit , to check for ozone residue in the skimmer water outlet.
I never had any ozone residue in my sump i always run my ozonizer full throttle all 200MG my ORP stay at 330 and i never had any problem with anything in my tank.
After seven years of continue use i took the unit off service and keep it in the shed i try to use it after two years of storage but the probe was no good any longer i was not going to get a new probe for a old very use unit so i trash it.
I'm still can't get the clarity of my water like the ozonizer use to do even with all of carbon i use all the time in my tank .
i just don't know if i will use ozone on my $1900 Deltec skimmer i think the NW and O-rings will get eat up by the ozone eventually.

see proven results from other side and it follows what i was told by lfs owner, who is a friend of sorts and has used on his own tanks as well with no dryer?
not saying your wrong, just that i have heard both sides
