MORE INFO ON OZONIZERS:

Reasons you may consider using ozone:

1. Increased water clarity (even if it had been very clear before ozone)
2. Increased light penetration
3. Decreased yellowness
4. Decreased algae
5. Decreased cyanobacteria
6. Decreased skimmate production
7. Increased skimmate production
8. Increased ORP
9. Reduced nitrate
10. Decreased pathogenic bacteria
11. Reduced circulating toxins
12. Cleaner (more pure) water 

The injection of ozone into the water can improve the efficiency of protein skimming and raises the ORP (Redox potential). The decomposition of toxic nitrite is enhanced while the bacteria count in the water decreases, minimizing the risk of ill health in the animals. The compounds that produce yellow coloring in the aquarium are broken down and the water stays crystal clear. Sterilization and purification of water by the use of ozone has been used for many years in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants throughout the world. Ozone is a very reactive form of oxygen that can destroy an enormous variety of liquid waste materials and toxins. Also many corals can put off toxins that can be harmful to other corals and fish Ozone can help eliminate this problem. In the aquarium Ozone offers a simple, highly effective method of maintaining a clean and stable environment for the plants and animals. We recommend 1 mg/hr for every 2 gallons of aquarium water.
