Need help changing setup so that I can figure out why my Ozonizer keeps changing my "ozone safe" tubing into sticky gel. Currently, I have my setup as follows, air pump to largest Red Sea Air Dryer to Enaly Ozonizer to Ceramic air stone within CC ozone safe skimmer. I have to change the tubing every month or it builds up moisture within the tubing which then enteracts with ozone = acid within the tubing which leads to the gel. Where is the moisture coming from? I am using the largest air dryer Red Sea makes and am cooking the beads every week when they start to change color. Thanks for any help!! :D

I run basically the same way BUT I have an ozone safe check valve before the skimmer. I do not use it continuosly & wanted to keep line closed when not in use.
Perhaps you should try one.
