are you going to buy that? thinking of getting one too.

Can help to keep the water crystal clear and should help with ick outbreak too right?

Ozone is good if used correctly but pretty dangerous..

[Achilles Tang]

Do read up more about the use of ozone. It is not a magic cure-all... it IS dangerous not only to your marine livestock but to you and even your surrounding area.

[AquaRa]

no need use ozone 1 lah.

[CalciumReef]

Ozone is by far the best way to boost your water quality. Ozone Generators clean up aquarium water by removing unwanted organic decay, proteins and pollutants. By eliminating harmful organics, ozone increases the longevity of all marine life. The active oxygen creates superior water quality providing aquarium inhabitants with a clean environment for living and reproducing

saw Aq&*st@r sellin .. 65sgd 4get what brand .. dun noe safe 2 get boh

[dravan]

ozone causes respiratory difficulties, nasal n fatigue.... it reacts wif water vapour under uv light ( sunlight ) to form hydroxy radicals that causes smog n PAN

[CalciumReef]

It must be used in well ventilated areas

[ryz]

so how? is it safe to get? I'm thinking abt getting one. can anyone advise? reccomend some articles online to read abt ozonisers?

[CalciumReef]

[flying carpet]

Eh dun scare me leh. I just ordered one ok. Now hear of all this scary story.

By the way safe or not ah??!!

[loster]

don't worry la... u ordering the ozone controllable one right punch among of ozone acccording to your tank volume are you going use with ORP controller?

before i started my ozone, my ORP controller shown 311. i only set my ORP controller at 360. my ozone work on/off for a sometime, now for last 2-3 weeks, my ORP controller hardly activate my ozonizer. and my redox reading stay at ~385 when lights on and ~410 when light off. unless something die off or water change, or you work on your tank than my redox will fall a little while and than back to ~380 without even activate my ozone. this show that my water is stable and well balance

as the same time, i use my redox reading to gauge my water stability and quality

[patrick123]

Yeah...Ozone is a good investment. So far, no ich even if I introduce fish that I buy from LFS directly into my display tank. Used to worry like hell since I have a PBT inside the main display. So far so good. May be don't need to quarantine anymore in the future. hehehe

The ozone will run very frequently at the beginning, but after a while, once it stablize at a certain reading, it will kick in less often.

But must make sure to soak the probe in vinegar often as I heard that the ORP reading will go on the high side if the probe is not clean regularly.

[loster]

this is what i have read and summarize:

ORP reading:

- goes up at night because the tank PH drop

- goes down during feeding, water change, die off etc...

- goes down during the day + lights becasue your tank PH goes up

- appears to go up & up & up... it is time for you to clean your ORP probe
