Hi Bev,

Ozone is used mainly for 2 things in aquaria depending on dosage

1) Control Orp
2) Water clarity

I use it for the latter. I run very low doses through my skimmer mainly to take out some of the yellowness of the water and help my skimmer skim out a little more gunk.

If you want to read up on what ORP is, here's another good article by Randy Holmes-Farley in Reefkeeping magazine:
