ORP and Ozone

[Samw]

What are some of the more popular ozone reactors? I've only heard of DIY ones and Coralife ones which were considered poor.

The only other ones I know of are the MTC and ALS.
I think there was an Ultralife reactor but I can't find any hits for it.

Here's a link to Dave C's thread with pics of the MTC setup.

Here's some better pics of the ALS.


Included plumbing parts


Hooked up to an MTC carbon reactor. The air tap and filter I added myself but I'm not using it anymore.

i was wondering more the intial reason for maintaining ORP levels by injecting/reacting ozone in the water? What are the benefits of the higher ORP level?

I run my ORP at about 400. The water is so much clearer than before and the corals are coloring up nicely

You should check out this series of articles by R.H.Farley on the claims and real benefits of ozone.

Mostly I think it is the amazing difference in water clarity where the water seems to disappear.
Also possible reductions in problem algae and cyno, organic toxins, and pathogens.
