Nothing is indestructible. Even the M1 abram.

Thanks I am still waiting for my new tank to arrive.The equipment will be bought slowly but I was considering ozone.My wifes cousin swears by it.He noticed a differance in his 100 gal when using ozone.Is the electronic dryer any good.I am curious to see how it works.Does it go on by itself?Do you just push a button and it drys beads inside the unit or I am thinking its always on and the unit drys the air before it goes in th the ozone unit or after the unit.I am not sure but it looks like its less of a hassle then having to bake the beads.You could always buy 2 or 3 beads(unit) that way bake 2 at a time you will always have 1 handy

Hello Steve, if i understand correctly, the unit will run 24/7 produce the hot air to dry the beads. I may be wrong. I will give more info on the Electronic air dryer one i have it up and running.

JMbecker, which probe are you talking about? the ORP? There is cleaning solution for it.

Thanks I didn't know how the unit worked.If it had the beads inside or if it was like a dryer warming up the air inside the unit as the ozone passes threw it.If it does run hot 24/7 wouldn't it use up alot of electricity?Maybe it has some kind of sensor that tests for humidity and heats up the beads when required.It can also run once a day or once a week maybe who knows.I am curious to see how this works because there isn't much info on the the web site

 

[Jar*Head]

I spoke to their tech last week but forgot to ask how often they run. But they said there is a beads inside. They may have the sensor to measure the humidity....

Ozone

Ozone

I use it and I love it................Mike

[Jar*Head]

Hello Mike, thanks for sharing. Your tank look gorgeous. the water look so clear it turned blue

 

[Jar*Head]

Mike, i notice you have 4 tunz 6200. Have you ever thought about cutting the screen for more flow and less restriction?

Like this

 

[acropora nut]

What about your snail's and small fish....Mike

 

[Jar*Head]

Never have problem with it. I have lots of small fish but not of them get suck into the pump.

 

[acropora nut]

Is the performance of the pump that much better with the mod's ?


Mike

 

[Jar*Head]

I don't know how much better but i sure do like it cuz it doesn't get clogged up by algea or stuff build up after awhile. Have you ever notice your pump getting weaker after couple months without cleaning the screen? You may not have algea due to the Ozone keeping the water clean.

 

[Jar*Head]

BTW, don't cut the X on the nozzle.

I also use the wave box (without the extension) and 2- 6100 Tunze pumps and even with the guard in place I once had a small snail get into the wave box cause the alarm to go off, so I don't think I'll be taking the guard off any time soon. I haven't really seen too much algae growth so far. Maybe my ozone plays a roll there too.

By the way.............. NICE TANK MIKE

 

[acropora nut]

Thank you KenStanley for your comment.....Mike And I get no algae in my tank....

 

[Jar*Head]

Well, that is what im looking forward to. Just ordered the 260mg/h Ozotech Generator and the electronic air dryer. My MTC Ozone reactor is on the way.....

 

[steve the plumb]

It will be nice to see when set up.Like I said right now I have no tank but I ordered a 96x30x24 so I am looking to set up with UV and run ozone aswell.I want to get my lights also before I setup I want the tank to run to get the bugs out before adding any fish,this way I won't lose any live stock.I also want to see how warm the water will get since its summer and warm thats when my MH gave me heat issues in the past.

 

[Jar*Head]

So you are going to do both U.V and Ozone? "that is hardcore" I have two 57w with all brand new part, i was going to run it in my system but @ .36cents per Kw 24/7. I rather spent a little bit of $$$ up front for the ozone but save $$$ later.

Steve, I will keep you update on the Ozone setup. I already place an order for the Ozone and electronic air dryer. My reactor setup also inroute......

Wish me luck guys.... I will do it as slow as i possibly can. Consider i just add the Interuptus angel in my system. Let not kill that one

 

[Billybeau1]

Just make sure you have carbon protecting all of the output water and there will be nothing to worry about.

Good luck and keep us posted.

P.S. I too use both ozone and uv.
