Ozone Reactor

[Fishcrazy06]

I am in the initial stages of setting up a different tank. I am going to implement ozone into this system. My question for all is a ozone reactor necessary? Are there other options out there? DIY? Or am I better off getting a reactor. Give me all the pros and cons of using a reactor and explain why you did or did not use one.

Thank you in advance.

I did both the skimmer intake method and the ozone reactor method. Both would work but you can easily smell the ozone if you just used a skimmer. I had carbon on top of the cup and in the outflow but you can still smell it really strong. With an ozone reactor hooked up to a carbon reactor, I don't smell anything at all. I won't run a system without ozone.
