Ozone air pump...How big???

[DaveMorris]

I am adding a Red Sea ozone generator to my tank and am trying to figure out how big of an air pump I need to feed it. I will be injecting it into my Euro Reef CS8 skimmer. Also wanted to know what the best way to hook up the air line is. Should it just pump directly into the skimmer or should I put a tee on it so the skimmer can take in regular air as well?

I use a Luft pump (the smaller one) but am using an Ozotech ozone unit. Also, make sure you use an air drier. I have my pump pushing air into the air drier which then feeds a mixing station so I can control the relative percentage of O3 and room air (but the airflow will remain the same if the ozone unit is off). This feeds into a JG fitting in my AquaC EV-180 skimmer. The skimmer's air inlet is also partially open. For my unit I want an airflow of about 3CFM through the ozone unit.
