Mine is in the sump, in the same section as the return pump.
Also, my W model came with three catalyst.

Plus they should come with 2 catalysts unless they have added another.From the supplier at Aquaristik shop. "Catalysts have a life cycle of many years and are only replaced if their function decreases significantly."
How long have you been using Oxydators in marine reef systems Lasse?I have mine in the sump
Sincerely Lasse
A correctly sized Oxydator with the right combination of catalysts and % of peroxide will clear away yellow/green tinge to the water no problem.
What Oxydator, what % peroxide, how many catlaysts are you using and how many gallons is you system?I’ve been using an Oxydator for a few months now, but I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how to decide what the right percent peroxide and number of catalysts I should use is.
Got any pointers?
Sorry I need the rest of your spec as above also how heavily stocked and with what?Been running 9% with A, for 3 yrs

You could increase your peroxide to 9% but as always observe the tank closely for at least 30 mins after upping it. I assume given you don't mention it that you have no inverts?Tank is about 75 gallons
I have the “A”
2 catalysts
6% peroxide
2 Anthias, 5 chromis, 2 clowns, 1 blenny.

This is my problem when asked about Oxydators I struggle to get all the information required to answer the question in a meaningful way. I need to know a lot about stocking rates gallonage type of animals kept and how heavily people feed as they all play an important part when it comes to getting the best out of your Oxydator.Sorry, yes. I do.
I have several clams, a BTA and snails.
WOW! You have some great fush there. My friend has a not too dissimilar set up to you using the W model. He is using 12% and 3 catalysts. However I would start with 9% and 2 or 3 catalysts. If all well move up to 12%.Hey @atoll. I am embarking on seeing what an oxydator will help me with in my system. I have a W model on the way. Here are my specifics about my tank:
240 G Mixed Reef (SPS/LPS/Softies/Trochus Snails/Cleaner Shrimp)
Skimmer, CO2 Scrubber, CaRx, dosing vinegar
Stock List:
Powder Blue Tang
Sailfin Tang
Yellow Tang
Hippo Tang
Achilles Tang
Sailfin Wrasse
Lineatus Wrasse
Red Margin Wrasse
Cleaner Wrasse
Mandarin
I feed at least 3 times a day. I feed LRS, pellets, and flakes. I do tend to feed a little heavy most of the time (unless I notice nutrients increase then I slow down a bit).
Wanting to see if you can give me some insight on how to maximize the Oxydator in my setup. I think that I will put it in my sump when setting it up.

Midas blennies rock in fact I much prefer most of the smaller species of fish over most of the larger ones.I forgot about my Midas Blenny and Naso Tang. Love that little guy.
In the UK you have to be VAT registered to buy 35% otherwise 12% is the strongest we can buy legally anyway. Always best to buy high strength peroxide and dilute it to your required strength with RO and post DI if you have it.Thanks for the quick response and compliment!!! I might try to find some 35% and dilute down. I was running an ozone generator, but had to switch to a Reef Octopus from my Vertex (which has an intake for ozone).
