Ozone should never be run high, unless running the reactor (skimmer) exhaust through fresh carbon. You can gas tank and humans, it is toxic. Ozone resistant tubing can be found best at online stores or even ebay. Think it is either silicone, polyurethane, PVF and a few others. It is not too expencive. You might be able to use fuel line stuff from auto stores, have never tried.
Always start very low, and raise it over time.
ONLY use ozone with an ORP probe on a controller!!!!!!
I consider Ozone a secret weapon of mass destruction. Harmful to pets, bad for lungs, can nuke a tank;
BUT if have a mini cycle happening in a tank with SPS, you might stop the crash from not only nutrient spike, but the resulting toxins released similar to chemical warfare.
Speaking of such, can also help keep down the day to day chemical warefare between mixed corals such as softys and SPS.
Chem warfare is "allelopathy" - In this use of the word, one specie of coral produces and releases chemical substances that inhibit the growth of another species. They release Terpenoid Compounds into the water. Ozone breaks them down very well as it chops up complex molecules into simpler ones. It Oxidizes protiens.
One does not HAVE to use the carbon filter if your reactor (skimmer or otherwise) is outside in a garage, but run at low levels and set the controller for low ORP and gradually raise it until you find a balance where it is only running a bit
Never use Ozone for other than maintaining ORP within the aquarium or a spa, it is too dangerous to jury rig it as an air purifier.
