Just curious about the commonly thought pros and cons..
Thanks

I feel O3 is a awesome tool, but it has the potential to be a awesome killer of your tank. O3 can make your water sparkle and keep everything nice, BUT you need to have it under reliable control with safety back ups. it is a very good sterilizer.. so good infact that it is indiscriminate about what it will stearalize... so if used in to high of concentrations it will kill your fish and corals ect... and this doesn't have to be a prolonged time at a high level.. you have one mistake where a bunch is dumped to the tank and Bam.. looks like the dead sea.
I personally want to try it but I would shut it off if I am sailing or on holidays to be safe.
