Ozone is great for a tank to polish the water, remember big doses to fast can wipe out your tank. remember it will quickly turn your conversion of ammonia ,nitrites to nitrates super fast, and if you dont have something to remove the nitrates then its going to build up.

I began pulling ozone directly into my skimmer sometime in September. As the tank turned around right about then, it is one of many things that I continue to do.

Specifically, I've not noticed the ozone to do anything in particular...except smell.

So..Does it work?...I don't know, but the tank hasn't died.

I used ozone for about a year. It did polish the water some...though sometimes I thought it was all in my mind. I stopped when I started running Ultralith/Zeo. Never got around to hooking it back up.
