Is a ozonizer a needed piece of equipment? Or would a great skimmer do the job! Give me your perspective!

A great skimmer will keep your water cleaner.

Ozone will keep your water clearer.

IME Ozone is not needed but can be that additional boost of clarity once you get to that point. A skimmer while not needed will make keeping your SW tank that much easier by removing dissolved organic compounds from the water.

I'm not really sure how ozone would work without a skimmer.

Why don't you run your ozonizer? The other question is the ozonizer really that hard on pumps and impellers on your system?
