I'm not trying to argue, nor convince you that what I'm saying is correct. From my reading an ozone reactor works better then a skimmer, and unlike a skimmer an ozone reactor was designed for dissolving ozone in water. The main reason I bought the reactor was because there is a good risk that ozone will ruin the seals on a skimmer and I spent too much on my skimmer to risk that. Also, if my skimmer fails/leaks I'm down... if my ozone reactor fails/leaks I'm still good to go, just get another reactor. That, IMO is the biggest reason to use an ozone reactor... to save your skimmer. Especially if you plan to push much ozone through the system.
btw, for anyone else interested, here is a great source of ozone info...
