Heard that the Becketts we are using are not ozone proof but I'm still taking the risk :(

Got one of the first generation of reef maniac skimmer. Checked with Joe_P and was told that some parts were questionable, e.g. the blue connector on the air intake.

Any of you have tried and not have any problem? Don't want to have a leak and problem later on.

You are right

I am also using RM fist model and the sealing on the connector has started to turn black and flaky ;)

Hi,

Just found out that my skimmer is not 100% ozone proof. Any suggestion from the reefer how to hook up the ozonizer? Is it a good solution to buy a cheap skimmer to run the ozone?

Thanks,

Patrick

Coralife and some German brands do manuafacture Ozone Reactors...

if you worry for the skimmer, you can hook your O3 to a ozone reactor. Coralife and Schuran do sell them. Schuran are for freshwater but the Ehiem pump they use I suppose they are saltwater ready too.

In fact it isn't difficult to DIY one if you are good with your hands.

y cannot just use an external air pump???? and pump into the sump???

u either use the ozone through your skimmer air in-take or ozone reactor. it is not very wise to pump the ozone direct into your water :)

Injection of ozone into skimmers have very good advantages which includes an increased effiecency of the skimmer.

The waste collector can also be used to help remove any excess ozone which might escape into the air ;)

If it just the connector and "o" ring then why not just change them?
