an overdose. if you let the concentration of ozone get to high it will quickly kill every living organism in your tank.

here is the way to do it Jack, maybe you can get us a price on these units as they are pretty safe.

the other way I have seen it done is with a cylinder like Co2 but it is Ozone and it is bubbled into the system.. this is highly unsafe and which I have determined I will not try.

Always risks in this hobby we just have to minimalize them. Although for piece of mind the monitor/controller is just about the same price as the ozone unit!

The combo I'm looking at is RedSea Aquazone 50mg/hr with Miluakee ORP controller/monitor.

I'll run that through a DIY air driven skimmer and have it output through some carbon.

I'd like to minimalize toys on my new tank and go with simplicity but I just gotta try this out.

I'm saving...

Let me look up the price.

I would assume that unit has the ORP probe?

Steve, what mg/hr unit would you go with?

Just looked it up and only the deluxe model with the ORP probe. But it's a nice unit!

Isn't it got a built in controler that stops the output when you reach your set ORP level?

Yes it does.

The Deluxe 50mg/hr and 100mg/hr units w/ORP probe are about $350 US each.

I've never seen one used around here locally I can't tell if it's worth it.
