Probably not - I would contact John, he should be able to help you - it's designed that way for a reason, I would imagine. What dot is the wedge pipe set to? Maybe lower that.
OZONE and the I-Tech 200
OZONE and the I-Tech 200
I ahve had my 200 for awjile and love it. I am now seriously thinking of running Ozone on my 180 and have beenr esearching.
Afew questions:
1) ANyone using their I-tech skimmer with Ozone? If so, what's yourt set up?
2) Are the materilas in the skimmer ozone resitant to breakdown? (for John)
3) Are their any attachments offered by John for integrating an Ozone system in regards to carbon media at the output for filtration of OPO byproducts?
Thanks!!

I knew of the lid, but you need carbon on the output (liquid). That is where it is most needed if you have the proper balance of Ozone in the system. The ozone itslef in the skimmer will only exist for a few moments (1 oe 2 seconds at best) before it chemically changes.

I spoke with John about running Ozone last week. You can certainly add an attachment to your I-Tech to introduce Ozone, but the most efficient way is actually to use a reactor. He's looking into building Ozone reactors from clear PVC, but that may be a ways down the line yet.
I plan to utilize a separate reactor, whether it's one that John can build, or one I find on my own, and not to introduce through the skimmer. This would handle all issues.
Give him a call.

I didn't want to post anything until it was a done deal, but the external 200 is for me 
I should have it on the 16th. I contacted John a little bit ago and asked if he had anything external in that size range. He said he could make something, it wasn't exactly a stock item. So he and his shop worked out that beauty for me. Its the first one like that I believe, and I am very grateful he was willing to go through the trouble of making it. I have to say that he is and his crew are first class all the way. The build quality looks great from the pictures I have seen, but will comment more once I get it. And I couldn't be happier with the customer service, any question I had were quickly answered. I will be sure to post pics once I get it.
