DrBDC-- That is a good reading. It's supposed to mean your husbandry habits a very good. That or an unusually light bioload.
Contraindications.

mikeguerrero--Good idea. Mine is going to be without ozone for 6 months (just starting to dose again, high nitrates and want clearer water).

ORP 271
Tank 55G sump 20L
Euroreef CS6-2+ Gate valve mod.
 
Reptoreef and Fred_J thanks for the data...

This morning before I went to work I peeked into the cabinet and my ORP is at 300 mv and holding strong...

Wow, I wonder what it will climb up to... My water is really sparkly and I haven't even started Ozone.

I've read that Ozone will even shine up a already sparkly tank more than the best carbons...

Man I can hardly wait... I'm hoping Ozone will help color up my SPS even greater, as they are just normal in color not too vibrant.

Ronc,

I don't know that yet as I haven't fired up the Sanders unit; that will be over the weekend since my airdryer failed to come in.

Can someone else chime in and answer Ronc98....????
 
Depends on the amount dosed and the size of the system... it can be pretty quick. IMO, going about 20 per day until the desired point is reached would be best.
 
Personal......I like the Sanders ( AquaMedic ) Ozone generators better than Red Sea......from what I understand the Red Sea's have no serviceable parts on the inside.....once it breaks down .....your out of luck.........The Sanders units can be taken apart and cleaned......just my two cents worth
 
Jay24k,

I read and and asked a lot of questions before I decided on my Sanders 50mg/hr unit over RedSea Deluxe 50mg/hr.

Knowing that it's a German product you know it's quality. I own all Deltec Filtration and I wouldn't go with anything else after the performance I've seen.

Jay, the all in one units are nice; they simplify a lot of things however there are drawbacks.

If the unit goes out, 9 times out of 10 the whole thing is down. If my sanders goes out, I can repair it and in the meantime I can still use my controller to monitor my ORP.

Take a look at my pics that I posted of the equipment for my setup.

I should be getting my airdryer this Wed then I should connect everything.

Just running my ORP without Ozone, this morning I have climbed to 322 mv ORP. That is awesome...

Milwaukee told me to run the ORP for at least 5 days before I connect anything to it.

He's right, my ORP is still calculating, as you see from my first post a much lower 244 MV ORP.

Hope that helps out...

I agree with Bill and Elaine , I bought the Red Sea 100 deluxe for my main tank (I still need to send it back for warranty repair). The next tank got a Enlay with a Milwaukee controller and the luft air pump.

Update,

ORP reading has finally maxed out at 326 mv... I would love to run the Ozonizer now, since it's a long weekend, but I'm reluctant because my airdryer is not here it will arrive on Wednesday.

Any recommendations if I should wait until Wed, making sure dry air is going through the sanders unit?

I have placed the ozone unit in place but haven't wired it yet, here are two pics:

Being that my ORP is 326 mv without Ozone, I took some pics of my reef so we may compare a before and after shot.

Here are the before pics:

Mike, which one is before and after? I don't see any differences, can you point out the diff.?

Thanks,
Loc
