Ozone in freshwater aquaria?

[John Doe]

I have never seen the topic of using ozone in the freshwater planted
aquarium. Using common plant techniques (2-4 wpg light, co2 injection,
proper substrates, heating cables, etc.), is it ever used? Does it "scrub"
nutrients plants may need? Does it help with algae
control/bacteria/parasites? Discuss.

Ozone oxidizes trace metals like iron and would remove them from
solution creating nutrient problems. It would proabably help with
bacteria and algae as it does in sal****er.
