Will ozone do anything to reduce that dang film algae on the front glass?

Yes it will. You will notice a reduction in film algae on the front glass. An ORP of 350 will extremely limit this.

So I take it when running ozone you definitely want an orp probe to monitor it?

Yes, if you are running Ozone you want to monitor it and control it via ORP. This is to ensure that you don't over do it.

Timing on and off is not enough.

LOL
Maybe some day I will have a few fish
Oh there weren't any in the pics.
I have about 30. The Koran Angel is about dinner plate size. The 75 has 2 grown snowflake eels in it.
It's getting upgraded to a 180.

Right now in fact. I just put it on the stand a few minutes ago.

I run my ORP at 300. It doesn't do anything for my glass but stuff eats what grows there.

Apex should have an ORP option. Even the el version. You may need to purchase an ORP probe. Give the ORP probe time to settle in. It could take a few days.

How do you inject it into the water?

Holy guacamole! Are most of the 30 fish in one tank or spread our across multiple tanks? Lol

Here's my 6 ft long waterbox it has 18 or 20 fish in it right now. Going tomorrow to pick up 4 female Japanese swallowtail angels that I ordered and they will be in there as well after quarantine.

Yeah I'll have to buy it and I'm pretty sure the module too in order to hook it up.
