Don’t waste your money with ozone, it’s a complete waste of time and funds
And I would love to guys. I really do .But my corals lose color ..i have good polyp extension and all .Why is everything yellow and discolored? I have changed everything but skimmer. So I would like to get a better skimmer but if thwn I need that ozone I want to be prepared with the skimmer that I can run it with ..does that make sense?Don’t waste your money with ozone, it’s a complete waste of time and funds
Do you mean your water is yellow?Why is everything yellow and discolored?
There are very successful reef tanks using ozone for water clarity and parasite control. Some also claim it helps skimmer performance. If you draw it into your skimmer you will need a skimmer that is made of materials that can hold up to the ozone, and is listed as ozone safe such as a Vertex or Lifereef. Alternatively you can inject it into an ozone reactor such as made by GEO or Avast Marine. The reactors are considered more efficient but I think you will need an air pump. I don't think it matters what skimmer you choose if you use a reactor. Be careful and go slow. You can easily wipe out a tank with too much.
Done!Do you mean your water is yellow?
If so, try GAC - ROX 0.8
No, I would not put ozone into that skimmer. If you still want to try ozone at some point, I would look at something like a Vertex Omega 180i for an internal needle wheel skimmer. The ozone is drawn in on the secondary red tube in the picture.Would that be that kind of skimmer?

Meant to type 24" LifereefA 2" or 30" Lifereef would be a very good choice. Deltec APF800 if you can find a source. I see some information that the external Reef Octopus is ozone safe (Coral Vue website), but I would confirm it . I would use a 6" on a 120 g.
