Ozonizer Recommendations Please

Researching ozonizers now, best unit I have found for price/output is the Aquamedic 300, it does 300mg/hr and is $300US. I could get away with 200mg/hr but I like to buy for upgradability.

Any other units out there I should be looking at that are at least 300mg/hr?

I believe anything in the 300 mg/hr or up will be hard to find. I suggest Ozotech.

What is your water volume?

My water volume right now is 350gallons. So 200mg/hr will do, but not when I upgrade or add more tanks to the existing sump.

The one I found that I mentioned above was

Did you want one with a built in ORP controller or did you plan on buying a controller seperately (or at all?). You can get those Enaly ones on Ebay for $50 (200mg/hr) but you'd need a controller of some sort.

I plan on getting the Milwaukee combo ORP/Ph controller if the unit doesn't have built in ORP control, because I want a Ph controller for my calcium reactor anyways.

My goal is to add more gadgets to my reef

But seriously, I have read good things about ozone and water clarity for a long time, and want to try it myself.

I am running about 40mg on 250G of water and it does the trick just fine. A little ozone goes a long way. I like the Red-Sea units as they are adjustable.

Anyone tried using multiple ozonizers on one tank? Like if I hooked up 1 of these cheap 200mg/hr ones, then I upgrade tanks later, could I just add another 200mg/hr unit on? My thought would be that one controller might be more sensative than the other, so one unit stays on all the time while the other just occasionally. Would this be a bad thing though?

I have an enaly and i like it so far. no problems at all and makes lots of ozone. But make sure you have air dryer attachment or else it is not very efficient.

How many mg/hr is your unit? How much total water volume is your system?
