Is it worth the risk?

[Tinto2000]

I'm still new to this all but I'm working out the future projects for the tank.

Do you suggest Ozone or not? I have 75gal reef and using Octo skimmer which I will feed it though...I think?!

Is it worth the risk?

Don't bother. And welcome to the hobby and forum!

Here's some links to stuff by researchers you might enjoy:


"Coral Reefs in the Microbial Seas " This video compliments Rohwer's book of the same title. Used copies are available on line and it may be free to read on Internet Archive. Both deal with the conflicting roles of the different types of DOC (carbon dosing) in reef ecosystems and how it can alter coral microbiomes. While there is overlap bewteen his book and the video both have information not covered by the other and together give a broader view of the complex relationships found in reef ecosystems and are an excellent starting point to understand the conflicting roles of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC, aka "carbon dosing") in reef ecosystems.

Hello,

This is the most noticeable benefit. It oxidizes the yellowing organic compounds (like Gelbstoff) that accumulate from fish waste and decaying matter, resulting in truly sparkling clear water and better light penetration for corals. Ozone raises the ORP, which is a measure of the water's ability to break down contaminants. A higher, stable ORP (often targeted between 300-400 mV) can indicate a healthier, cleaner system. It can reduce bacteria, viruses, and single-cell parasites in the water column, potentially lowering the risk of disease outbreaks. It can help break down larger organic molecules into smaller ones that are more easily removed by the protein skimmer. It can also help reduce the skimmate's odor.

Are there specific risks you have encountered or are aware of when using ozone in this type of system?

I completely agree! The benefits of using ozone in aquarium systems are significant, especially in improving water clarity and enhancing light penetration for corals.

Absolutely, ozone is a game-changer for aquariums! It not only enhances water quality but also supports coral growth.
