Like what michael said, its no no to directly add ozone into the tank water. Use a freahwater protein skimmer.
By the way i dont use ozone, i simply use the orp meter to tell me when to change water and wash my filter media. |

The basic idea is a separate clamber for mixing ozone and water i.e enable oxidation. Ideally should have a degasiing clamber or process to remove 03 before it returns to the pond. |

Thanks for the great write up.
i remember Michael's ponds. pristine clear water (and the HUGE black rays). I was amazed at how clean everything was... and did ask how he clean his ponds. now i get it. part of the secret lies in the chem processes. but there's this part that disturbs me some what. Quote:
As in we should not overdose on clorine removal chems to have a certain amt of clorine in our waters, in order to increase the ORP? Sorry if it seemed like a silly question... but it's really really intriguing. |

We can of course dose anti-chlorine during WC at an amount of possible leaving remnents of Chlorine in the water but how much is enough or too much? Very hard to balance this. |
