Here is mine... Red Sea Aquazone 100 Plus run through an old Red Sea Berlin skimmer acting as an ozone reactor.

Do you run the out tube straight from the ozonizer to the intake on the skimmer?

[fishking]

yea and i have carbon where the water from the skimmer comes out

Fishking, glad to see you got your ozonizer setup. Everything looks good on your setup. How do you like using the ozone? have you noticed any difference in your water clarity yet?

ive never seen my water clearer than that, its pretty good using the ozone in the beginning i had TONS of dry foam, now just a little and my fish seem to be happy, they are all out and about happily swimming around

jerry u were right about that air dryer thing, i regret not getting the 500 cause i just recharged yesterday and today its starting to turn pink at the end again=(, david if you get one BUY THE 500 air dryer trust me its worth it, i didnt listen and now i have to wait until i get sum other stuff from md

By using a 250 in series with the 500 I can go for at least 2 to 3 weeks before having to recharge the beads. I only use neoprene hose between the ozone unit and the skimmer and use the cheaper silicone tubing for the dryers since ozone don't pass through those hoses.

It is not only cheaper but easier to work with than the neoprene.

yea i use regular air tubing for the dryer

I am just wondering what beads do you put in your ozone reactor?

thanks

[davidgottlieb]

They are little blue beads that absorb moisture. Kinda like the stuff you find in a beef jerky bag. The air passes over them and the beads absorb any moisture in the air. After they are exausted they turn pink.

you actually don't need that much suction going through your ozonizer.

if you T it with a very large diameter hose, you will get VERY little draw through the ozonizer but you will be getting just as much ozone being pulled through per hour. (just less ozone per volume of air. which doesn't matter).


i used to need to recharge my dryer beads twice a week. now i can change it twice a month.

Here is a Link (http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.detail/iid/2249/cid/3999) to a company that sells bulk desiccant beads.

They have a pic on the site as to what the beads look like when they are fully charged (Dark Blue) and when they need recharging (Pink).

They also sell the tubes for holding the beads as well.

Any more setup pictures out there?
