What's the best way to inject ozone? I have a sander's unit. Thanks.

I would not recommend to use ATB skimmers with ozone. I have seen the effects ozone has on acrylic. It would be highly recommended to get an ozone reactor.

Bigian,
From my personal experience with a major skimmer manufacturer before I got into the business. I bought a skimmer and the manufacturer told me that there skimmer was ozone safe. About 18 months of ozone the skimmer developed tiny hairline cracks all over the body. It actually leaked water. I called the manufacturer they said theres nothing they could do for me since I used ozone. They suggested i use glue to fix it and it still could be used. I really would hate for that to happen to an ATB skimmer this is why I do not recommend ozone with ATB skimmers. i kind of think of things different if I tell you its safe then it should not damage the skimmer in any way. My customers are very important!

Victor, I appreciate your usual excellent help.

I see that MTC makes an ozone reactor, but needs a 5.0 psi capable air pump and a 100-500gph water pump.
