I always wondered this myself. My Tunze 9410 has an inlet for ozone but there's no way to filter the air leaving the skimmer. @Paul B says he runs ozone 24/7 at full whack with no carbon at all. I have some old Sander skimmers that even say "Ozon Reaktor" on them and there's no way to filter them with carbon. Are the small amounts of ozone we use really that dangerous?
 
I dont even know if mine is producing any ive left it on for over an hr to see if I could smell anything
 
There's definitely a noticeable smell. Let's see if someone with more ozone experience chimes in.
 
No smell from mine the fan kicks in for 15 seconds like its working
