Your thoughts on running ozone in a 10 gallon.

[edwing206]

I am considering running ozone on my 10 gallon tank. I wanted to know what people thought of the idea. I already have a aquazone 50 plus, i just need the ORP probe. Just let me know what you think, thanks.

JMO but, ORP is worthless. The O3 molecule's half-life is like two seconds. If you're running it through a skimmer then most likely all the O3s will breakdown before it has a chance to leave the skimmer. Very, if any, O3s will make it to the tank. To top it off, orp doesn't measure O3s anyway.

Author Robert Fenner in his book, Conscientious Marine Aquarist, says it all in one sentence: Go ahead and use ozone, it can't hurt you or your pets.
