Ozone

Does anyone know if the ASM G-3 skimmer is ozone safe?

Do you plan to run Ozone on your reef tank? Skimmers such as the ASM remove
DOCs, and Ozone definitely has an effect on water quality.

JB NY has run Ozone on his tank for quite some time now, so he might be the one
to contact. You can find JB NY on reefcentral.com as one of the 50,000+
members.

Yes, I am planning on running ozone on a 110 Gallon reef tank I am putting
together (finally moving up from my 55 Gallon)

I know skimmers remove dissolved organics before they break down into
ammonia and nitrite but I am unfamiliar with the term DOC's. What does it
mean?

DOC - Dissolved Organic Carbon.

Skimmers also remove particulates.

Almost.. Dissolved Organic Compounds.

Nope. It's Dissolved Organic Carbon.

No, actually. "Carbon" was correct. DOC is only one class
of material in various the nutrient cycles.

DIP - Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorous
DIN - Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen
DOP - Dissolved Organic Phosphorous
DON - Dissolved Organic Nitrogen
DOC - Dissolved Organic Carbon
POC - Particulate Organic Carbon
PON - Particulate Organic Nitrogen
POP - Particulate Organic Phosphate

Each of these reflect the primary bio-material cycles on
Earth. Carbon, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen. There are others,
such as Silicon.

The rule is simple. We have Dissolved/Particulate,
Organic/Inorganic, and the nutrient cycle we're talking
about. We use these terms because each class requires
certain forms of remediataion. One doesn't, even remotely,
treat DIN the same way as POP.

Here's some scientific lit. where the term(s) are used
correctly...
