Hi:
i use ozone in my 180 FO. i believe they have a nice role in these types of tanks, in as much as the amount of waste generated, and the increase(aid) in oxidation of waste products. I too inject into my skimmer and have the outflow (both ones) recieved by carbon containing bags-the water outflow, and the air outflow. I also use an ORP controller which turns everything on/off.I find the unit very helpful, it does remove the yellowing, and I believe(operative word here) it helps in keeping my tank clean.
If you do smell excess ozone, just dial back or place unit on a timer. excess O3 is bad for your lungs(and nasal tissue), and your fishes gills.
Ozonetech makes the top of the line. They are pricey. Other companies like Saunders and coralife sells nice "corona spark generators", while less efficent they do work well. The key w/ these types is keeping the moisture out. Therefore a drying tower is critcial before the input of air
my opinion
