    Hey was just wandering what everyone thinks about ozone systems? Are they worth having? Would appreciate opinions? Thanks

    +1 for O3, but you do need to be careful with it.

    I'm running it on both of my systems. Input into the Skimmers, monitoring ORP in the sump, and adjusting the O3 output to manage ORP to 350 - 400 mv. The vent of both skimmers is run through a bit of carbon. Though my systems have carbon in them, I don't run carbon on the water effluent of the skimmers, just did not set it up that way...

    At the beginning of using O3 I did see an improvement in the skimming action.
