Some reefers had to send there Senders ozonizers back to Germany for repairs because no one was able to fix them in USA. The reefer (DeltecRules) is one of them .

Like I said, its a voltage source and 2 plates. Thats it. They come completely apart too.

I may be a little slow help me out here!!!
You saying that when the ozonizer kicks in you will not get a full blast of ozone in to the skimmer ? but it will slowly come up to a full 300Mg after one hour? so I can run a 300mg ozone in to my Deltec for 10 minutes and that will be only 50Mg approximately in the skimmer?
If I have it correctly let me know ?

If its a 300mg/hr unit, you're always getting 300mg/hr. Yes, you'll only put 50 mg in during a 10 minute period, but that doesnt matter. Deltec says no more than 50mg/hr. You're getting 300mg/hr during that period.


You'll see a lot more damage this way than if you ran a 50mg all the time.

That being said, I run a C50 on my 70 gallons of water, and I think its currently adjusted down to about 5 mg/hr, and it doesnt haev to turn on all that much.

300mg is a TON of ozone.

Yes I know but it most be something else they have problems with . I will asked him to see what was. I know he took it apart and clean it but was not able to fix it.

bringing this one up from the death, i recently got a redsea plus 100 controller etc, after 48 hours i dont get a reading on the probe if i put it on vinegar it reads, so i cleaned it up, put the probe back in my sump and the reading is going back down its now at 13...any ideas, should i leave it 48 or so hours to see if it climbs? no ozone is being injected so far...

ORP probes take a few days to get in line.
Just leave it in the tank.

 

[thelostrican]

thx, i gave it a good cleaning yesterday, and now it has started to read so far 127 and climbing, i will probably leave it for a week to see where it levels, and then i will start the ozone.

What kind of ozone do you guys recommend for a 300 display and about 450 total volume.

Thanks

I'd get a redsea 200mg, basic model with Milwaukee ORP controller.

 

[Brent Thomann]

whats the best way to clean/maintenance the ORP probe for my Milwaukee controller, haven't touched it in over a year.

 

[erics3000]

Thanks I am going to start doing some more research on them. Do you have your inject into your skimmer?

Leave it in vinegar for a couple of hours.


I'd stay away from the redsea. There was all sorts of issues with them.

Brent, I agree with Rich. I was not satisfied with my Red Sea unit. Sanders makes a much better unit but needs a separate controller.

Vinegar is good. The probe cleaning solution sold is usually hydrochloric acid.

yes I have mine in my skimmer, same with everyone know. you just have to make sure you skimmer is rated for ozone.

 

[Brent Thomann]

I guess get the Sanders these days. Sorry about that.

does it matter what type of vinegar to buy?

White distilled vinegar is fine

got it, thanks. will have to stock up.

 

[Brent Thomann]

has anyone heard of running ro/di water through a redsea 200mg unit to clean it once a year?


ha, I guess I didn't get last post before splitting for performance, have to be close! if someone can please get back to me on my post though maybe you'll be first in line when it splits, lol.

I run my Enaly 300mg 24/7 in my 300 gal system. ORP is a constant 375 to 400 range. I use marine tech concepts reactor at the url below:

[gotfrogs]

Have any of you used this reactor?

I have had it for a year or so but never hooked it up.
