where to get ozone

[ryshark]

This may be a very stupid question, but I will ask anyway. I see tons of ozonizers for sale that distribute the ozone into the tank, but where do you buy the "ozone" itself?

Not a stupid question, but a newbie question.
The short answer is, the ozonizer "produces" the ozone, then it is delivered to your water via the protien skimmer. That is at least how I do it.

ozonizer uses electricity to split O2 into O and O. these O's combine with other O2 to produce O3... ozone

Thanks for the replies, makes sense now.

Next question.... If ozone is overdosed, in what way is it dangerous to the aquarist?

 

[jjk_reef00]

you need to use carbon to remove the harmfull effects, check out mtc ozone setup
I use that and love it. Now that I have it I just wonder why I didn't use it sooner.
