I am now using the Avast Marine Works Mutiny Ozone reactor v2.1. It has been running for about 8 months and is working perfectly. It has a carbon postfilter built in and works well. My tank is a Red Sea 3XL 900, and the water is crystal clear all the time.

[@berniemorris7997]

I use ozone in water treatment for years. Work great but there is a fair amount of maintenance. But what doesn’t. 👍🏻

[@ReefDudes]

Very ture!

[@niagarafirecorals]

I love my ozone generator and the crystal clear water it provides

[@StressfulReefer]

Hello @Niagarafirecorals What generator are you using?

This whole entire time, for months, I thought there was a doorway to your left into another room. I realized it’s just a mirror… .. I’m logging off for today.. ✌️

[@ReefDudes]

There is a door to the left by the mirror. So yes to all :)

[@marioguillen194]

Great video is it possible for you to show a video? How do you go about flushing out the unit? 👍

[@ReefDudes]

I Can do that in the near future. Prob due for a clean!

[@skillz_311]

@@ReefDudes please remember to do this :)

[@tomg5405]

Your forget to say it helps control nutriments, my nitrate and phosphate dropped, no more nutrients problems since I have it, also less bacterial infections

[@ReefDudes]

Still not 100% on how much it helps that. Will. Have to do some testing on a tank later. Pretty cool to hear it did for you!

[@manierod]

Will I have to take my co2 scrubber off if I decide to use an ozone generator?

[@ReefDudes]

I used it with and didn’t have any issues

[@manierod]

Thank you for the response

[@4417t]

Thanks for the video. Which ozone generator would you recommend for a 40 gallon set up? Would 15mg/ hour be enough, it seems like most of them would be overkill...any advice?

[@ReefDudes]

A tiny one would be plenty.. I have only used on 100G plus tanks.. I dont think the clarity would be overly noticeable in the smaller tank but it would help with organics and odors. (or just use carbo) If your going to do it a small one should be good as i would guess you would use closer to 10-20mg on that size as i use 30-40% on the dial of 200mg (so 60-80) on my 200g tank.

[@ChristosD]

Thanks for the video. One question though. If we have recirculating skimmer setup with scrub media, connected as you have it, the input of the skimmer air is let's say 1000lt, so the output bubbles of the skimmer should be 1000lt of air. Where does the ozone inputs in that circuit? I believe it does not. And if it does, I cannot see how, it has to exit somewhere... I hope my question is understandable as I expressed it. Thanks again.

[@ReefDudes]

I tap into the air line going to the Venturi so the suction draws it in

[@ahrondinar8782]

The reactor is the way to go with this,not the skimmer...

[@manierod]

​@ahrondinar8782, are you using an ozone reactor if you are what brand is it. I have been trying to find one, but the only ones in the market cost 3 to 3 times more than what a generator costs.

[@josemorales-uk6gw]

Do you think it would run good if I ran the inlet line outside? Asking because my fish room is pretty humid

[@ReefDudes]

That would certainly improve the efficiency (as long as its not super humid outside too!)

[@holgerkoob9339]

Hello, Do you dose trace elements? And when yes, at which way? Thanks and greetings from germany.

[@ReefDudes]

Randomly :). Some on a doser some manual. So a bit of a mix

[@ziggo420]

Are there any consumables or anything that would have to be changed on a time basis?

[@ReefDudes]

Nope! That’s the best part :)

[@MySimpleReef]

Hello ones you install the unit how long a takes forb the water to be clear ? Thanks !

[@ReefDudes]

You will see a deference over night,

[@JaiderChiu]

Is the tube connected backwards? The o3 out should go to the skimmer and not the other way around???

[@ReefDudes]

The skimmer sucks the air through it

[@JaiderChiu]

Any idea why my orp drops on the apex when the generator turns on and starts climbing very slowly after a while?

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

I am curious to know if ozone presents a better solution (other than ease of use) for clear and cleaner water than dosing hydrogenperoxide.

[@ReefDudes]

They are both oxidisers and will have similar effects on improving clarity

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Thanks for your reaction!

[@StressfulReefer]

What is your recommended ORP? I can't seem to break the 300 mark. Water looks clear. White bucket test later today. Using the Amazon generator you had before. Any tips on that unit? It is running through desiccant beads to keep it dry.

[@ReefDudes]

Don’t worry about the number to much other than not going to high. Every tank will hover around a different level. If it’s looking nice and clear your good!

[@StressfulReefer]

@@ReefDudes thanks.

[@jamescovington7670]

Do you have a link or name of the ozone that is

[@ReefDudes]

[@devachapman6315]

got the same unit. so you run it from midnight to 6 am? did I understand that correct. I thought i heard somewhere start off with 5-15 min.

[@ReefDudes]

Yes i do, As long as my orp is < 410.

[@chrissherman4764]

Before i saw you were using the weirpro ozone unit. What happened to that unit and how long did it last?

[@ReefDudes]

I used it for a few years. Gave it to a buddy when I bought the fancier one. It has a very thin air channel so requires more maintenance to open it and clean it on regular basis

[@chrissherman4764]

​@ReefDudes would you say that one would be worth it for a 60 gallon tank?

[@ronaldlambertson2624]

Does your ozone generator make any noise while running?

[@ReefDudes]

If you put your ear to it but it’s very quiet

[@ZucchiniSky]

The pumps and other equipment on your tank are much louder lol.

[@EugeneRu777]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@janir1838]

Does ozone remove cyano?

[@ReefDudes]

Im Not 100% on how much it helps. I doubt it removes it but may help on some for of prevention. (Maybe)

[@PepeCoinMania]

its a bad idea. its not a good way to do that
