using Ozone

Set a value, wait a bit and look at your orp. See if those values are being maintained where you want them to be and adjust as neccessary if needed. Its basically like dialing in a calcium reactor.

I have the same unit on my 250. When I run it at 100% I can get close to 400, but rarely ever go over.

Just slowly take your time (over a couple of months) turning it up until you notice no improvement in your system.

It sounds like your system is good already.

Nice clear water though, yeh?

are you running it into your euroreef skimmer? How has your skimmate looked since putting in ozone? Are you running the output of your skimmer through charcoal?

I'm just hooking up the same unit and I'm wondering if you got correct readings from your probe at once or did it take awhile to break in. Mine has been in about 24 hrs and still seems way too low. (165mv)

It can take 1 -2 weeks to break in the redox probe. I would wait 2 weeks then GENTLY clean it with a toothbrush.

You can also buy small packets of test solution to see if it needs calibrating.
