Aquarium Ozone has been made comercially available through leading manufacturers such as Aquamedic with its superbly designed Aquamedic Ozonizer 300. The injection of ozone into the water can improve the efficiency of protein skimming and raises the ORP (Redox potential). The decomposition of toxic nitrite is enhanced whilst the bacteria count in the water decreases and minimizing the risk of ill health in the animals. The compounds that produce yellow coloring in the aquarium are broken down and the water stays crystal clear.
Sterilization and purification of water by the use of aquarium ozone has been used for many years in drinking water and wastewater treatment plants throughout the world. Aquarium ozone is a very reactive form of oxygen that can destroy an enormous variety of liquid waste materials and toxins. In the aquarium, it offers a simple, highly effective method of maintaining a clean and stable environment for the plants and animals. As a rule of thumb, it is recommend that 1 mg/hr for every 2 gallons of aquarium water is sufficient.
