Randy, I’ve read your articles on ozone but I’m not completely sure that I understand the design of your ozone tubing reactor. Can you go into a bit more depth and provide some photos and/or instructions?

gac?I don’t have any photos to show, and I haven’t had it up for a long time, but I do think it’s a good design.
The basic idea is to add tank water and air/ozone at one end of a long coil of polypropylene tubing laid horizontally. The water and air mix as it circulates round and round, and then it is delivered over GAC before the water returns to the tank.

also, I understand the premise but I’m moreso curious as to how the water and air mix well, I don’t understand how a Venturi works In this instance
In the BRS video for Reff Octpus VarioS pumps they say something to the effect of “the skimmer pump version of the VarioS benefits from all the same great features, but includes a Venturi…” so Im pretty sure a skimmer pump IS a venturi?Instead of a venturi could use a pump with a needle wheel? Basically a skimmer pump

Hey @Randy Holmes-Farley , I’m curious if you’d be willing to confirm if something like this would work for your tubing reactor?Yes, any way of combining the air and water. I just happened to have a venturi from an old skimmer.
Also @Randy Holmes-Farley , if I were to make your tubing reactor, would you say theres any essential benefit to plumbing it straight from and/or to the DT, or is the sump okay? Same thing as the age old “how to plumb in UV” I guess… like I’m curious if it should be a closed loop in the sump, or if it should come straight out of the DT straight back in… etc
