I use it on my LPS and SPS reef tanks. No problems and i personally feel that its highly beneficial.

One thing to note is that it cannot be used with ZEOvit....which is becoming more and more popular, apparently.

I use ozone in my tanks. What I saw:
1. Reduction of nusiance algae
2. Clear water
3. Corals seem to like it, although softies are affected(at start of ozone) somewhat and I don't know the effect on fish
4. Not sure why zeovit is affected by it

I use ozone as well, it keeps the water crystal clear. Doesn't do much for the algae though as I have brown wafer algae rampant and hair algae and what have you in the overflow. Any non brown wafer gets eaten by my tangs. I like the clairity of the water and feel my corals have better colors because of it.

That being said I am thinking of trying ultralith again soon.
