Thumbs up for Ozone!

[reptoreef]

So far so good on my system with the "on or off" unit... My controller keeps my ORP at around 390 and I also only smell ozone when I stick my head near the skimmer's sump while dosing.

thanks for the info . I think I will sell it and by one that I can adjust. I have a 120gal. tank with a 40 gal sump do you think a 50 G/h unit will be fine since nobody runs there unit at max capacity.

 

[Bill and Elaine]

Sanders recommends 25mg for up to 85 gal, 50mg up to 170gal, 100mg up to 340gal, 200mg up to 680gal.......if you run the unit with out an air drier you get about 50% of the capacity of the unit........I have a 110gal tank the reason I got the 100mg was simply that the 50mg's were out of stock........I didn't want to wait two weeks

Any one got STN on the corals on the begin to use Onzoner. i got couple Stn on the corals since I started to use Ozoner. I started on the beginning only 5%mg/h for 24/7, now I adjustedfrom 8:00 am to 12:00am. Let see what happend on the corals.

for the time i had my enaly unit runing i dint get any smell only water leak from water pump on the reactor, i dint smell any ozone & trust me u can smell it when it leaks,for the price it's a good buy but u have to have the right equipment to run it.

2 weeks after adding a 50 mg/h Red Sea Deluxe to my 120 display - 140 gallons total - running at 20-25 mg/hour:

nice clear tank pitstop thanks for the input

Dracula,

You cannot be for sure if it's the ozone taking out your SPS. Do you have a controller connected to this unit?

You need to run carbon on the return line for the skimmer, making sure it catches any residual ozone that might go back to the main tank.

A lot of reefers say that below 50 mg/hr is not enough to see this type of death in the tank.

Check the beginning of this thread they talk about levels of ozone that are dangerous....

I installed my Gen-x ozon generator last week. Ran it on its lowest setting and started with a ORP of 230 - it increased to about 280 over the week, I wanted to go slow. Noticed both of my feather dusters lost their tails so I stopped the ozone. I injected the ozone into my skimmer but I did not run it over carbon as it left the skimmer so I stopped the ozone until I get a carbon trap made for the skimmer.

I guess you really need carbon on the output. Everything else in my tank looks steller, it only effected the feather dusters.

Ronc98,

Run some chemipure in your filter sock on the return line, it's better than carbon alone. Will absorp gaseous and odor.

I ordered an Enlay directly from www.enaly.com for my other tank ,or until/if Red Sea fixes my aquazone under warranty. Got the unit in less than five days drop shipped from china, received an email this morning checking to see if I everything was OK. What great customer service.

Hi,

I just bought the RedSea Aqua Zone 50mg/h. How can I tell if the unit is working? It does not make any noise. Just the red light.

Also, how long is it going to take to clear my water? right now am using 25% injected into my ASM G2 ( No air pump is used ). I only run it for 2hr per day.

 

[reptoreef]

any ozone smell from the discharge tube???

 

[ronc98]

No Ozone smell from the discharge plus the ORP never made it above 280 at its max. So I am not sure if Ozone was the problem or not. I have the overflow filtering through a carbon trap now so In the next day or so I will fire the Ozone reactor back up.

 

[A.G]

Any one?

 

[Fred_J]

The only way I know of to tell if any ozoneator is working is to either take a whiff of the output watch the rise in ORP or see the crystal clear water. A.G. I would leave it on 24hrs per day for a few days. The ORP should then be at a much higher level. I do believe in using a controller. Someone who has used ozone on a particular tank with a set bioload may be able to stop using a controller because they know their machine, tank and bioload.

Thank you Fred,

I will run it for few days (at 10%) and see what happens. No controller here since I only need it to clearfiy my water, so I will be using small doses every now and then

Is anyone using the Coralife Ozone Reactor? What pump/powerhead do you use to feed the reactor? I am wondering if a MaxiJet 1200/900 would provide sufficient flow.

 

[Fred_J]

I used an old aquaclear one I had laying around. I believe the instructions call for a 80 to 200 gph unit. I throttled the aquaclear way back. It really does not require much flow.
