Thanks for your input Christy and Colin
Did a little reading: ORP reading one should stay between 300 and 350mV This is recommened as the desirable level Values higher then 430mV can be dangerous Values below 200mV indicate an accumulation of organic wastes and low oxygen level

Really? What was your source? Things I've read say to keep it at 400+. Hmm, maybe I should read more. Right now I've been aiming for about 400 but hovering around 370 or so. Perhaps I should just keep it where it is

No no not at all. I was just interested in reading the article you had gotten the information from.
 I'm still figuring this ozone thing out myself. There really isn't much out there on ozone (any "formal" online publications anyway, most are just posts on various bulletin boards). The only info I really have is Randy Holmes-Farleys series on ozone:ORP and the Reef Aquarium Ozone and the Reef Aquarium Part I Ozone and the Reef Aquarium Part II: Equipment and Safety Ozone and the Reef Aquarium Part III: Changes in a Reef Aquarium Upon Initiating Ozone In the first part of his series he mentions that most people run it at 300-450. Then in the second part he says 350 is good, 400 is ok but never above 450. As well some people I've talked to say they aim for 400-450. I never got a manual with my ozonizer but thank goodness Harvey (Mr Alberta) was very patient with me when I bought it from him
