    I have bought a red sea ozone unit from a member on here. I have this skimmer Turboflotor Multi SL - Protein Skimmer - Aqua Medic do you think I can run the ozone though this skimmer and pack the out flow box with carbon think this will work? Any advise will be great. Thanks!

    It's an ozone safe skimmer just make sure you use silicone tubing not vinyl. You would be better off using an o3 reactor, much more efficient. IMO

    The ozone will escape the vent holes in the collection cup lid. Might want to rig some carbon there to be safe.
