Oxygen Concentrator ??

[reefrubble]

Is anyone running a medical oxygen concentrator on their system? I would like to know what benefits ,this would add to my system. This would not be like adding ozone,correct?

Wouldn't this be a great benefit to the system,without the dangers that ozone can present. Ted

No, adding more O2 would not be like using ozone. It will not make the water clearer, for example.

If you have low oxygen, it might be useful. Otherwise, I don't see the benefit of driving O2 above normal.

You're welcome, Ted.

Adding O2 alone shouldn't alter pH.
