I'm thinking about adding ozone through the skimmer. Is ozone under 400 safe for the silicone sealant used in Oceanic glass tanks?

Thanks
Doug

Yes.

Ozone wont get to your tank anyways. Its got a halflife of about 10 seconds in salt water. It wont even get out of your skimmer.

The carbon people reccomend for running with ozone is to deal with some chemicals that are produced when they are exposed to ozone, not the ozone itself.

If you are interested in Ozone I just put up my Sanders ozone generator, for sale. I have everything to go with it as well. It's listed in the For Sale forum.
