For people using the W, what size tank are you using it on? I ordered one for my 120 I'm setting up and it was alot bigger than I thought it would be...

Yes. Just half and half.To dilute the 12% do I just use rodi water?
The W was originally designed for small ponds so I wouldn't use one on less than 100 gallon but if you can fit it in the sump you could use it in smaller just no need to. Smaller than 100 gallon I would use the model A.For people using the W, what size tank are you using it on?

So it should be ok in my 120 with a 55 gallon sump I guess. Are there any negative effects that I should be aware of with using it on this size tank?The W was originally designed for small ponds so I wouldn't use one on less than 100 gallon but if you can fit it in the sump you could use it in smaller just no need to.

No everything should be fine providing you can accommodate it in tbe sump with a reasinable head of water over it. Remember unlike the other models the W will float to the surface when ot needs refilling.So it should be ok in my 120 with a 55 gallon sump I guess.

It's going to be in about 12 inches of water because that's the height of the baffles. Do you think that's enough? I have 12% peroxide. I'm figuring to dilute it to 9% I just add 1/3 rodi water to it?No everything should be fine providing you can accommodate it in tbe sump with a reasinable head of water over it.

I would use 9% peroxide if ressonably well stocked with 2 catalysts at first. If you want to be ultra cautious then start with 1 catalysts but 2 should be fine from the off.
I took my ozone offline when I started using Oxydator's. You could run them together but I would only advise it if either where underpowered to run a system. Both ozone and peroxide are bleaches and usually running both is overkill, not necessary and in extreme cases could be dangerous to tank inhabitants.Also, I currently run ozone, I understand that I should take that offline when I use the oxidator?
Thanks for all the advice!I took my ozone offline when I started using Oxydator's. You could run them together but I would only advise it if either where underpowered to run a system.

I have a few ppl I talked to think I’m nuts for sticking “freshie tech” in my reef tank lol. They are telling me there is no way in hell peroxide would generate an ozone effect [emoji848].
I would never run a tank without them, I'm not a chemistry sort of person but to me it appears to be a poor man's safer ozone!
Have you asked why and where they get their information / ideas from. Me thinks they don't really have much of a clue. In fact peroxide can be more potent (for want of a better description) than any hobby ozoniser that's if you wanted it to be.I have a few ppl I talked to think I’m nuts for sticking “freshie tech” in my reef tank lol.

Tell them i have been running oxydators for around 30 years in reef tanks and previously ran ozinisers. My conclusions were arrived at soon after starting to use Oxydators. Back in that time Oxydators were all but unheard off in marine circles and hardly known here in the UK apart from a few discus keepers. Myself and a friend experimented at some length using Oxydators in our tanks before we gave them the thumbs up. I have used Oxydators in all my following tanks ever since and know a number who who have ditched their ozonisers for Oxydators and never looked back.Have you asked why and where they get their information / ideas from.
