***Ozone Ozone***

[VetReefer]

I'm not finding the before pictures, but these are a couple of afters. Tank is 72" long.

Avast told me to put the return in the return chamber. Since the water is already clean, but the proof is how your tank looks and its beautiful

There is a misnomer with ozone. The water looks cleaner because the organics are reduced in size. They are still there just smaller. So they still need to be removed. Since I have all the softies, I want to make sure the particles are removed.

Skimmer since yesterday.

So yours goes into your skimmer chamber? I was thinking about even with the reactor to run into skimmer after carbon. That way there is no chance of Ozone getting out. Thats good skim too.

The output of the avast goes into the water/air inlet of the skimmer.
Quick video of my advast setup.

so no tube to the skimmer silencer?

No. I feed outside air to my skimmer for pH control. The skimmer is in a fish room and is fairly quiet without the silencer. So I just bypassed it.

Oh okay well mine will be in my basement so idk how that would work. where is it pulling water from? or is the pump just to pull air in

The skimmer normally pulls in water and air and mixes them together. The output of the ozone is a mixer of water and air. The input of the ozone uses an air pump to pump air through the ozone generator and picks up the O3. In the avast unit, the O3 Is recirculated in the Main media chamber. The O3 then loses one oxygen molecule. The lose oxygen molecule which is what then breaks down the organics. The output from the main media chamber then goes through the carbon media chamber which neutralizes the ozone. The output of the carbon media chamber is what I feed into the water/air input of the skimmer. So the skimmer is pulling tank water, outside air and the tank water/air mixture from the ozone into it. Does that make sense?

Here is a picture from today with the lights on.

Kinda lol but still trying to figure out how to set mine up lol. Or would have to seen it done. I watched your youtube videos

Feel free to PM with questions.

 

[KenO]

Kinda lol

Just remember that setup doesn't have the ozone generator.

I def will and I'm tracking, Avast Has been very easy to talk too and they answer fast

Yes they have a quick response.

This was my first ozone system. Very easy to setup. I change the carbon monthly. Every other month I clean the water pump.

I ended up ordering my carbon pellets from a pond store. It was a 9-10 lb bag. Much more affordable option for carbon and I think it works better.

So that's where you run the out of the ozone correct from the Avast REACTOR
