In Fenners' book he guarantees that there is no risk of harmful ozone from an ozonizer designed for the hobby. The only downside he mentions is increased corrosion of rubber or silicone-tubing materials. The benifts listed:

- aids in "burning up" organica snd disease-causing microbes

- raises pH

- boosts dissolved oxygen and redox

- maximizes efficiency of your protien skimmer

- raises ORP

- quick chemical degradation of large organic molecules that are responsible for off-color, turbidity, low oxygen and some tixicities

He recommneds an ozonizer before investing in meters, dosers, denitrators or UV sterilizers. I think I'll add one to my equipment list

Learning about this hobby is a hobby in itself!
