Spotted the elusive bobbing head in your tank! Stunning!

I have a small, 40 gallon cube with an aquamaxx tech3 30mg hour ozone generator. I run it randomly and fit usually 30 minutes. Within that time, my water is crystal clear, the corals are all extended, etc. I believe if you run them a small amount, you will receive a very large benefit from them. I wouldn't advise running them 24 hours a day for sure. Oh and to add, I don't use an air dryer either because I welcome the less efficient output on such a small tank.

@ReefDudes 2 года назад

Agreed! I’m a big fan of finding just enough to get the job done. Safer abs you don’t need much!

@maceysdaddy5150 3 года назад

Awesome video Deven. I bought an ozone system from BRS 6 months ago, but have been nervous to set it up. Your experience and sage advice has made me feel more comfortable about running ozone. Thanks!

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

your most welcome. Let me know if you have any questions!

@sostoudt 3 года назад

I would love to see a comparison of Ozone vs Hydrogen peroxide. I tried dosing the peroxide in my tank to 1 ml to 10 gallons (3%) and saw pretty crazy similar clarity results and cleaning.

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

Yep! you can put it on a doser and get some decent benefits from it :)

@LightSearch 3 года назад

The oxydator does a similar job. That being said, I don't notice any difference when I forget to refill it. On the other hand, if I overdo it on the peroxide concentration, the anemones react immediately.

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

Are you dosing h2o2?

@LightSearch 3 года назад

@@ReefDudes That's one of the things the oxydator does. H2O2 reacts with the catalysts inside the container, it releases O2 and, as the gas builds up, it pushes H2O2 out. Part of this H2O2 then reacts with the ceramic pot in the same way and part is realeased to the tank. In my case for a 200 gallon tank, I use 2 catalysts and 250ml of 12% peroxide. Every 3 weeks I refill the container.

Hi, what skimmer did you say you were using? It was hard to hear. Cheers!

@portwolf2293 3 года назад

Good video Deven. They also use ozone for well water treatment to solidify iron and magniz so it can be removed with a sediment filter. It has an added benefit of killing bacteria in the well water as it passes through the ozone treatment system. That's why I brought it up during your live stream 👍 The only reason I discovered that is well water in our area has no measurable mineral content except very high iron, iron bacteria & a PH of 4.3 So I was looking into filtration systems. And apparently even in those systems it requires a very small amount.

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

Its crazy to think that it can solidify iron! You learn something new every day! I 100% agree! you only need a little ozone for a lot of benefit :)

1. What size tubing does that Weipro ozone machine require. 2. How often do you need to recharge the air drying agent. I have a Redsea 650max so about 180 gallons

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

just made airline fit. I quit using the dryer but it was every 1-2weeks. But all depends on the humidity in your home.

I just added ozone and I don’t need to clean my tank glass as much as before. My main concern is I don’t get any skimmate. Did you have this problem?

Hi Devin, Do you know off hand if the Reef Octopus skimmers are rated for ozone? I have the 300sss.

@ReefDudes 3 года назад

Not off hand. Check their online manual or shoot support an email and ask. It has to do if they use cast or extruded acrylic. Can’t few all which one is the safe one though

@ReefDudes 5 месяцев назад

How come you don’t like using a skimmer.

@ahrondinar8782 5 месяцев назад

@ReefDudes because it's improvise,less efficient with many flaws and issue,destroyed over time the skimmer and the components around,less seal from ozone leaks and ozone smell,need more attention and using more carbon around it to filter the ozone leftovers... So,why improvise and having all these issues as well maybe a few more that I forgot, so why not go better way when we have something that design and bulit for it,away more professional and the right way to go ??

@ReefDudes 5 месяцев назад

@@ahrondinar8782 I see your logic, but it also depends on the skimmer as some are built for it.. better than others :) that and many may not have space for a skimmer and a reactor. so i do see why most do the 2for1 approach

@ReefDudes fine,so everyone will do what's good for them,the results are away better,but even for the more quality ones that claim it bulit for it,its only a matter of time until they will break apart from ozone... This gas isn't a toy,and won't "forgive"..
