i still like using my old venturi valve skimmer as my ozone reactor and run it very dry for skimmate and I use a very large needle wheel for skimming wet.

Yeah I realize this now...Im going with a MAG 5 I think. Should be more than enough from what I have seen people using. Need a valve most likely to tone it down a little even.

Yeah an old skimmer is nice and easy but the reaction time is way too short. Im looking to increase the reaction time to around a minute before releasing back into the sump. I would guess most skimmers are not even 20 seconds. Could be wrong but I know they are not over a minute. Plus this is much, much cheaper!
