Ozone

[fancy_fish101]

I’m really interested in ozone as I am crazy about how clear my water is. I also run carbon 24/7 and I hear it more cost effective using ozone. I’ve seen it effective against bacteria and algae and etc.

I got a 75 gallon reef tank. For people who use it, is it that effective for clarity and other things mainly clarity?
Is it worth getting for my tank?
I’ve been very tempted lately as I love clear water and I keep semi expensive fish and would like it for bacteria to. I do qt fish.
Plz have your opinion and advice.

I would not give up GAC when using ozone since they accomplish somewhat different things, but ozone does make water very clear.

Awesome thank you!!! Do you think applying it to a 75 gallon is worth it? I was going to stop GAC because I’m scared of my tang getting hille or something from it. I also run reef moon shiners and it recommended not to run it 24/7.
Advice?

Ozone doesn’t remove organics, it just mostly makes them not absorb light. Rox 0.8 is not know to cause hlle.

Alr, i see why we run carbon because the left over ozone just in case.
