Thanks for your input, I am just going to dial it down to about 5-10 mg/hr and set the controller for 400. I have noticed a few things in the tank, i.e.- water clarity for one thing. I don't know if this has anything to do with the ozone, but i have also noticed that my fish are a lot more active, the clowns I have never really left the corner of the tank. Now they swim about quite freely with all the other fish. The one thing I did notice about my orp numbers, is that once it started to climb, it went up quite fast. I am going to keep it going for a couple of weeks and see how things go.

to have it alot clearer like you said is from the Ozone the yellow is taken out and gives you a really clear look. remember you have more Oxygen in the tank now too. which is good but you dont want to much Ozone in the tnak remember if you start getting a smell from the ozone dial it down. How are you injecting the ozone in the tank skimmer. what type of skimmer are you running on the tank.
i take it that you are using the BK to bring it in if so just run it in small doses too

350 to 380 mV. If it hits 400 might want to just clean your probe. Clearing of the tank is a direct result of the ozone usage. I think I had it at 50 mg/hr. This was in the sump and not the main tank. You should have carbon destructors to capture the excess ozone
