Hi All,

My tank is 43Wx24Dx22H(water level) with Sump 25Wx19Dx15H(water level at 9") and following equipement.

1)Kent Marine Skimmer TE with RIO 2100 pump
2)Auqa Debary 25W UV
3)13L Seachem Martix
4)700pcs AC
5)two bottles Bio Star
6)two bottles Kent Bio Core Cell
7)Superflite Water Cooler

Sump layout

1)First chamber : Matrix & cotton
2)Second chamber : AC, Bio Star, Kent Bio Core & Matrix
3)Third chamber : Skimmer, UV connection, Water cooler & return pump

Now, I bought SAGA ORP Controller 2003C & Sander O3 maker Model : 100
But I don't konw how to setup and monitor the performance.

Whom can help me. Please advise

Thank you

Ozone generated at the outlet of the ozonizer should be connected to the air input of the pump of the skimmer. ORP of the ORP controller should be set at around 350. An ORP reading of 300 to 400 is good for a tank already. The probe should be place at a point to measure the average ORP value of tank water.

I am using Sander 200mg at maximum output but the ORP is only around 300 for my 48" tank. I think a 100mg Sander may not be adeqaute to push the ORP to 350 in your case.

Hi LC,

First of all, thank you for your help to let me know the setup.

I have another question that any precaution should be taken in order to avoid O3 leakage and whether is harmful to human body.

Besides, PH meter to monitor the PH variation togather with ORP Controller is necessary or not.

Thank you

Ozone is definitely harmful to the human body. It can irritate the respiratory tract and the eyes, and can precipitate asthmatic attack. In my opinion, as far as the ORP value of tank water is below 400, leakage of ozone from water is minimal. On the other hand, ozone can leak from the tubing connecting between the ozoniser and the skimmer. Ordinary plastic tubing deteriorates very quickly and must be checked and changed regularly. Some hobbyists suggest to place carbon at the water outlet of the skimmer to absorb residual ozone.

I have been using ozone for 2 years already. It has not caused any observable harm to me whatsoever.

Ph meter is by itself a useful instrument for the monitoring of pH. But it is not necessary with ozoniser. ORP meter alone is adequate.

Hi LC,

I follow your guidline to setup the ORP controller and O3 maker(turn off now because much Skimmer bubble out of the sump and return to the main tank upon connection from O3 maker to skimmer). I worry O3 gas running out to air and to main tank. In fact, I add the Bio Cotton (Blue) to separate the skimmer bubble but it may not be effective at that moment.

Besides, the reading of the meter is around 120 (1hr reading). It is normal or inaccuray. My tank was set up on 13-Aug-03 and there were around 6 fishes. several fishes died due to different discease before. Please help to rectify the situation.

Thank you very much for your help.

ORP reading less than 250 means poor water quality.

It takes hours of ozone to raise ORP reading from 120 to 250 or higher. I doubt whether a 100mg ozoniser can raise the ORP of a 42" tank to 300.

You may try to rearrange the water outlet of your skimmer to avoid bubbles leaking into the main tank. Can you show a photo of your tank and the sump?

Hi LC,

The reading of ORP Controller is now 270 and bubble running out from the skimmer is less and be acceptable. However, I still worry the O3 leakage. What/How precaution measure to be taken to ensure no O3 leakage.

Thank you for your help

Dear LC,

The reading of ORP is low to 200 at morning and one fish was died last night which was found at morning. It is normal or not.

ORP of 270 is aceptable although >300 is even more desirable. ORP is lower in the morning is noraml as plants absorb O2 at night but only release O2 after light turned on.

The dead fish is probably died of reasons other than ozone. If there has been ozone oveload in the tank, more fishes should have died already, not only one.

I think the best way to monitor ozone leakage is by reading the ORP meter. Low ORP reading of tank water means low (no) level of ozone.

Dear LC,

Sander O3 maker was bought from the second hand and operated about two days. However, it is out of order on 20-Sept-2003 and seller said (21-Sept-03 while I calling him) that it may be damaged by eletrical wave (unstability from CLP, power supplier) and he removed the cover plate, inspected with me. It could not found any damaged parts except that the cover plate wrapping and scratching of sander logo as said by the seller. I am not sure such defect whether or not it is already occured before I bought due to no detail inspection of the good. Please advise whether it is possible as damaged by Electrical wave or any the inherent problem of the good. By the way, I lost my money and earn the lesson.

Besides, I intend to buy the new version of sander O3 maker (new one), small size. Please advise your comment.

Sorry to hear about that.

My Sander has been out of order for a few times. After changing the fuse, it works again. You may have a try.

I have no idea of the new version. Perhaps you can report your experience afterwards.

Dear LC,

I have already checked the fuse and is normal. Tonight, I buy the new version sander. It is very light and operated by high freqency(titian tube inside, no need to change and clean by unscrew the tube according to the instruction). The reading is reached to 350. However, I believe that previous second hand good has some inherent problem which I could not know. Whatever, I thank LC to help and advise me how to setup the ORP controller and O3 maker. Now , the water is crystal clear.

Thank you

Michael
