Ozone alters Skimmate???

Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:

I run ozone via an enaly unit w/a milwuakee controller... setpoint is just under 400 mV, and I use a recirculating G1x skimmer. Skimmate before the ozone was approx 1 cup every other day... dark green/black, putred smelling, thick sludge. Now, I empty about 1 cup daily of VERY PUTRED smelling sludge/soup that is a much lighter color. I raised the riser tube on the skimmer about 1/2-3/4" for better production due to, what I believe to be, less organics or terpins(chemical warfare) in the water and the lighter skimmate is due to the bleach created by the ozone in the skimmer. If anyone reading and I am off, please do comment.
