I use it. I have observed an increase in water clarity and skimmer performance.

Be careful with it and follow all of the necessary precautions. Orp controller, Carbon, leak checks, etc.
 
I'm running ozone on my 90 and preparing to add it to another tank. Using an Octopus reactor, generator, controller, and a Pinpoint ORP monitor as backup.

Tank clarity has always been pretty good so I can't comment on the ozones affect, however it has all but stopped film algae from forming on the glass. I went from scraping the glass every other day to maybe once a week and there really isn't much to remove when I do scrape. It also added a new defintion of nasty to the skimmate the Vertex Alpha pulls out. The Alpha always produced a foul smelling skim but it is now unbearable to be around when I clean the cup.

Other than the obvious downsides, it takes up a fair amount of room and is kind of noisy.

Do ample research before hooking one up.
