ozone and CO2

[spooda420]

Has anyone thought of or has done a ozone generator being provide c02 then using that ozoned cleaned air and running through a CA reactor? Would this work well??

Im hoping to eliminate several plugs, and clean up the fish room a little?

I've used this set up in the past. Turns your CO2 reactor into a Ozone reactor. Cool idea, here are my notes

-if your using a 03 through a valve then into the reactor you may see reduce air flow due the restricted flow throught the O3 generator.
-Ozone can be tough on the reactor equipment- makes plastic and seals brittle.
-The O3 is never fully absorbed so if you worried about O3 in your house take note. Maybe a recirculating reactor will do a better job. Your sump air will always have a nice 03 odor.

I prefer to run the O3 through a air stone directly under the flow of the return line. You can check out my sump picture with the return line to see the mixing.

Randy Holmes said that I need normal 02 levels for it work correctly... so Its back the drawing board for me...
