Love when you have Aaron on, I can listen to you both talk about ozone for hours! 🤓 Also though @ReefDudes I don't know if you can change it but the title of this stream is "Reeg..." I think you meant "Reef".
I find it extremely interesting but I do have a few questions not sure if you are ok to provide your advise:- For my 200 gallon fish only tank, I initally tune ozone to 100mg and realise the ORP is hovering between 180 to 220. The tank also took a long time to be crystal clear sometimes it takes hours or days I am connecting the ozone generator via a dedicated protein skimmer used just for ozone REcently I upgraded to 200mg and found that the tank clears much much faster sometimes in minutes. However the ORP Is still hovering around 190 to 220 I am running the skimmer for 15 minutes every hour and turn off for 45 minutes same as the manner you shared in the video I am just wondering if it will ever hit 250 and above even if I turn it on 24-7 for a couple of days. Assuming the ORP is still hovering around 220 range when I turn it on 24-7, will it be an issue? I am planning to get the Avast Marine Mutiny reactor and will it be ok to run it 24-7 as long as the ORP is below 300? OR will there be a risk of overdosing ozone? Appreciate your advise
I realize I’m not the one you’re looking for advice from, but I hope you’ll listen anyway before your put your inhabitants at risk. There’s no value in chasing a specific ORP number. It’s completely irrelevant and not the goal with ozone. It’s simply a safety threshold and it sounds like you’re dosing a substantial amount of ozone. With numbers that low, I suspect your probe is covered with algae or it needs replacing. In general, if your water is clear, you’ve added enough ozone.
I agree with Deven. One thing to consider is how are you getting out those finer oxidized particulates from the water. If using anything over 50 microns it will still be in the water no matter what. They just get smaller and smaller till the skimmer can eventually take them out. That can take days, weeks, or months. The number is not what's important but the clarity. Try taping something to your long side and take a pic as a reference of the clarity. As you use ozone take more pics and you'll see the difference. Before long you'll see the magic.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means” -some guy with an accent. Thank you for the stream, I’m catching it later. I appreciate your guest’s drive to try new things and bring great topics every time. Thank you both. I do disagree about the ozone reactor. I felt excited much like you until I operated a GEO for a year. It gurgles, not fun keeping pressurized/balanced, loud gurgles across the house. Adds a dozen possible leak points, takes big footprint. I pulled it to clean and reconfigure about 6 months ago, connected ozone to my Nyos and never looked back. I always figured if I pay hundreds of dollars it HAS to work better than Reefdudes method of simply connect to the Nyos. It now sits on my br floor unused because I deem it no value added. Skimmer now pulls the most vile wonderful skimmate. Its just my opinion as an operator, maybe I was doing it wrong in some way, the levels of complication it brings above the skimmer input port is a hard argument.
Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear you had some challenges with your GEO unit. I can't speak to the v1.0 but the current 2.0 has been a real treat to use.
@@aarondusthe poly-fill idea for filling fish voids is just brilliant sir.. Standing Ovation. That will serve me well some day. I “need” a tang in a tank, but I have 11 of them already. Game On,, thx again
Its a huge stretch to try and correlate supplemental minerals to fish behavior.
Thank you for all wat you showing
Was an extra good episode, some really good discussions. I’m currently listening to it for the second time so I can take notes this time.
Happy to hear your enjoying it!
Thank you for tanking 2+ hours out of your day to listen to us chat. Let us know if you have any questions.

All fixed! thank you :)
You are tooooo kind. Thank you for joining the stream. Hahaha yes we can talk ozone for hours.
Great guest! Really enjoyed it
Great episode. Thoughts on dosing H2O2 instead of using an Ozone generator?
I know people who do dose it. So certainly do able. Not sure on the direct comparison

Don’t worry to much about the number other than making sure it doesn’t get to high.

@@aarondus thanks Aaron. If using an Avast Marine reactor, will it remove the particulate or it can only be removed by skimmer?
@@skyrye7117 it's a great reactor for ozone introduction but to remove the particulates the skimmer or fine filter sock/roller is still needed
Same issue here: high ph with super low ORP

Does Ozon kill bacteria and viruses like UV?
Ozone will oxidize anything it comes in contact with.
16:55 under 1.0 po4? Dang
Pretty sure he meant 0.1ppm, 1.0 would be crazy and I'm sure Dev would have had a bigger reaction. 😂
