    Hey guys, would you risk running ozone into a atb 1050a?

    If you are asking if the skimmer is ozone safe, it is.
    Taken from RC:
    Ozone? - Reef Central Online Community
    Now, you will want to change the seal for the pump though, assuming you are using an Orca pump:

    If you use ozone, make sure you know how to use it properly. Get an ORP monitor (or better yet, a controller) to monitor your redox, or you may kill off your entire tank real fast. Make sure you also have pelletized carbon to absorb the excess O3 at your skimmer outlet (either at the outlet port, the skimmate overflow or both). Hope this helps.
