Which is a better investment???

[jackalcleo]

Which 1 will be a better investment? Was thinking of getting a Coralife UV or an Ozone. To improve water quality and minimise pathogens or Ich parasite.

[blueheaven]

I would go for ozone with an ORP controller

[SoTongBall]

I've stop using the UV ever since got the ozonizer.

[jackalcleo]

The ozone so solid!!!!

[ckkoon]

Hmm thinking of getting one too. Which ozonizer would you all recommend? Something that is good value for money?

Have anyone wondered what will o3 do to your tank? I mean the physical components and all??? take for instance the jointings to start with ie. silicon of the tank, the powerheads, hoses, valves ?????

A well setup tank can help you acheive redox levels between 320 - 350 as quoted from one of the distinguish source i read somewhere. With proper care it can even hit 360+ even without using o3.

Some say UV is useless cos the aquarium models are just too "small" to work - if its too small to work, try exposing it to your eyes and see if it works

So i'll say go for a good UV... i have tried, and it works for me

I am running an Sander ozone (200mg) together with a coralife 6X will very low water flow rate and all i can say it works . Still waitting for my ORP and PH controller to arrived so dare not blast my O3.

a good point raise here.

I saw the recommendation to hook up to a beckett. Concerned, did a search and found that acrylic (they didn't say which type, i assume there is only one) is resistance to it. But wat about the beckett injector? the O-ring gasket?

Hi,

Is Ozone safe to use? Can Ozone operate alone without ORP controller? Does Ozone produce smell? Please give some advise . Thanks

here we are talking about ozone and UV. do you know that because of our thinning ozone layer, we are exposed to much more UV nowadays?

Was worry about the ozone effect also. That's way thinking of getting the biggest model for Coralife UV 36W to oversize. I find UV in anyway will not have concern unless the casing broke. As for ozone worry this and that.

Thats a good one...

Lets shift our tank next to the windows.. then we don't need UV canniseter already

juz joking lar.. you'll have more problem such as algae bloom
