![]() Here is a skimmer question.
I am also going to be adding OZONE to my new system. Have any of you noticed that skimmate production goes WAY down when this is added? |

![]() From what I have read, that is normal. I will be adding ozone later this year I hope, I will update here my results.

![]() I am thinking the same thing. I will run my new skimmer for 2 weeks (after breakin) and measure skimmate, then add the ozone for 2 weeks, then remove it again. Ill do a picture comparison as well.

![]() ozone breaks down certain types of piping... what does it do to an acrlic skimmer?? i have been uncertain of adding ozone because of that.

![]() Check with the skimmer manufacturer. I checked with ASM, they are supposed to be ozone safe. I expect the o-rings will wear down though.

![]() Well I have a new update for anyone following along. The tank has now been placed on the styrafoam sheet and filled with water! (No leaks yet)
I have hooked up the wavebox and one of my Tunze Streams and the flow from the wavebox is truly amazing. So far, the best purchase I have made. I cannot wait to get my Corals in there. ![]() ![]() In the images above you can see the wave being kicked up by the wavebox! I also got the custom starboard installed. I cut it on a 45 degree angle so it did not touch the original silicone, and filled in the spaces/gaps with new silicone. Since silicone does not stick to starboard, it was simply used for filling in the spaces. All the silicone on the top of the starboard was removed/wiped off before the water was added. So far it seems to be working very well. The Overflow box is now working well and is very silent. The strainer on the left is connected to the Main flow pipe which has a gate valve attached at the sump. The valve is closed to allow just less than enough water to flow through. The pipe on the right catches the tiny bit of extra flow and the tank is totally silent. ![]() I have a temporary Sump set up until the new one from Golds is done. Albert???? ![]() ![]() It had to be special ordered to allow my skimmer to fit into it. ![]() My live rock is still cooking/curing and the rotten smell is almost gone now. We are also completing construction on the sump room so I hope to have this all set up in the next 2 weeks, followed by the sump, lights and then the Aquascaping can begin! |
