Once again ozone

[Fuskamis]

hello all

I’m looking for some extra ideas or troubleshooting to reach a “problem”

A few weeks ago I get from steady 370-400 orp to 230 and a pain to reach 260 or soo…

I didn’t lost anything not dosing anything new

I tested the ozone generator on tpa water u have 160/170 orp and a few hours later she was at 770

I double test 2 different equipments

Both gave me same reading on reagent and water

So 2 probablys fix ( probe and ozone gen)

It could be skimmer and from what I can see I feel the smell inside the cup from ozone. But don’t know why he can’t raise some points…

The system has 1000l I use a C200 from sander (it goes to 2000l) so it should be easy for him to raise like it was few weeks ago…


Is there something in water u can cause a block?

I have

5/7 in no3
0.03/04 on po4
Ph 8.2 low 8.45 high

Any troubleshooting to join this fun?

Many things could be causing this. Not all are of concern. One of the biggest things I notice is that ORP tends to have an inverse relationship with pH. Your ORP is generally highest at night when your pH drops. If you have recently boosted pH then this could cause the drop. I have also had a bunch of different additives drop pH including Organic carbon supplements and Amino Acids.

Some things that have helped boost my ORP in the past are siphoning detritus from every last spot in the tank and eliminating stagnant anaerobic areas in the sand, corners of the sump, or the bottom of the overflow box.

I understand all of that. But I have my sump always clean I don’t have any sand and always remove when I see on bottom some detritus….

The strange is without ozone

235 steady day or night with a very tiny difference

And if I add the ozone max he change nothing or a small percentage we are
Talking about c200 it’s a heavy dose and that should creat some visual moviment on graphic ( I think )

It’s like I have something in water that doesn’t let the ozone work properly ( once again it’s what I think)

Because it’s almost the same with or without ozone at full power not on low percentage

Is there a fish missing and/or anything (corals/fish) spawning in the tank?

Nopx all naturally that’s why I can’t find and answer and it’s getting me crazy
Because I have done what I did on tpa water but in the aquarium and nothing change the orp was like 250 and stayed all night at 260

When on tpa raised from 160 to 770
With no prob

On aquarium it’s strange
U can’t raise it dosing ozone like crazy and nothing happen on orp

Probes are good they both give same numbers

In water tank and in reagent

Hi! Did you ever figure out what happened?
I've been dealing with the same situation here.
1000 lts system. Mixed reef wit many fish and sps.
Ozotech 200 with air dryer and pump into a bubble king.
Orp just stays around 250-260.
Po4 below 0.05
No3 between 15 and 20
Everything healthy.
The one difference is that my ph stays in the 7.9 to 8.1 range.
Can't bring it up even with kalk.

Cheers!

If you say everything is healthy
I will not push after numbers

But u can try some things

Add a valve on ur air in for skimmer to force more air coming from ozone

Recicle the midia inside air dryer

This was what worked for me ( vodka )
U can start to make some carbon dosing

Take a look in this
