Ozone generator question

[Hot Sauce]

I have a 70 gallon aquarium and an ozone generator rated at 1000mg. It’s probably less than that. It’s one of those Chinese units from eBay.

I also have a smart WI-FI plug that I can set down to seconds.

What would be a safe setting if I were to use it?

Would a few seconds an hour be ok, or can I run it for a minute or more each time?

How are you getting it into the water?

It comes with airline tubing and an airstone. I planned to run it in the main display on bursts.

Id do some research on ozone before doing anything. That is not the way to introduce ozone to your system.

I agree that I would not want to add ozone directly to a display with an airstone.
