I saw an ORP meter for sale at Tuma, but I couldn't quite understand what it was for. Now everything makes sense, thank you again for the explanations.
Can you tell me more about the ozone generator and if there are any photos of it? It seems like these ozone generators are everywhere now; I even have one in my cheap Chinese fan. Maybe it can be adapted for our purposes?

Well, regarding the photo, it's better to ask A. if he doesn't mind, I currently have my camera taken away. As for the details, that's if you ask questions, because I'm not really aware of what exactly interests you about ozone and the ozone generator; I think I've covered the main points... And the one in the Chinese fan, in my humble opinion, is not suitable.

Off-topic, do you think it is possible to use an ozonator beneficially in freshwater (acidic and soft), particularly for shrimp? Here it is -
Cheyenne2747
Could you please clarify - is it per hour? Also, how do you determine the performance of a homemade ozone generator (for example, like this one), and how do you dose ozone to increase ORP and treat fish?
Thomas
Not a sailor, but I will allow myself to express my opinion - this text is not an article, but rather an attempt to sell a fifth wheel (in the part not related to ozone).
Alyssa6727
Off-topic If you're not a sailor, what are you doing here? Go to your colleagues and discuss the theory of the fifth wheel there... We will continue with the text...

By the way, he will come to the forum; he has also worked a lot with the ozone generator and can share a lot of useful information.
Randy
Isn't such a device suitable? It's still better than doing it by eye.
Julie
It fits.
Angela7060
What do you mean, there are many of them and what is the device for? Please clarify, as I don't understand whether it's a thermometer, scales, pH electrode, ORP meter, TDS meter, pH meter, or refractometer RHS-10ATC.

Such a refractometer is with A., a good thing, it shows salinity very accurately. As for me, I still use the old-fashioned "Sera" hydrometer. But due to its relatively reasonable price, I will need to purchase one over time...

By the way, an old but useful topic on response potential.
Rodney3101
Well, there are other forums.

Here is a link to the Water Analysis that is simply interesting for familiarization with the equipment we mainly work with.
Jessica5348
But it's interesting to figure it out.
An aquarium without fish and corals (macrophyte tank).
Although there will still be organic matter from the decaying pieces of macrophytes.
Off-topic.
Yesterday I was looking for a simple diagram of a homemade ozone generator (I definitely saw it somewhere!!!) - couldn't find it. I remember that a TV flyback transformer is used there.

It seems we discussed the pH meter above... and it was mentioned in message 11...

We don't have a redox meter; let the cosmopolitans pay that kind of money.
I bought such a pH meter, specifically in the thread linked, it worked for a couple of months and that's it... you also bought some, how are they working for you?
If we talk about the topic, when everything is fine in the aquarium, we forget about the regular tests... but when there's some issue... then we can really remember about the redox. But again, few people can afford to buy a decent redox meter, and there's no point in measuring with a cheap one...

Off-topic. There is an aquarium without detritus; take a round aquarium filled to the top with osmotic water, launch two plastic fish, and seal it completely. Over time, the RP will change there as well. I have a homemade simple ozonator that, even when working in a 250L aquarium for 1 hour, is not dangerous for overdosing. I connect it to the aquarium after each cleaning for 30-40 minutes. I will share a few diagrams; maybe someone will find them useful.
Jennifer7578
This is not for you and me, we are not used to plastic fish.
Alyssa1438
Tanya, yes, I also bought TDS and pH meters, and they are working fine so far. I bought the refractometer from another person a long time ago, but I had to calibrate it a bit. That's for sure because even a mediocre ORP meter costs $55, which is why I use a weak ozonator to avoid overdoing it, and since I don't have an ORP meter, I rely on my experience and intuition, which hasn't let me down so far.

We have a craftsman "from the people" who makes ozone generators, which is a good thing for us. We can't buy them for 4000 and then repair them after a month. I also have a similar weak ozone generator running right now, which I plugged into the refugium with a diffuser. It has been working for about 1.5 hours. I can clearly see the corals, and they like it. That's what was needed to show. All the IMHO about wheels, detritus, etc. is demagoguery. In aquaristics, I was taught to evaluate work based on the final result. If it's positive, then you're on the right track. Everything else is unimportant.

The measure of theory has always been practice.

Everything in a row

Then what is the point of using it in a reef? I remember there was a topic discussing the decrease in the population of denitrifying bacteria colonies, replacing old live rocks with new ones, and here we are suggesting using either a UV filter or an ozonator in a home reef.
Mark7376
Off-topic. I also bought the refractometer somewhere else, but from a forum... and again it let me down; the first one showed very high salinity... and the second one showed low... Moreover, I calibrated both with osmosis, and only the calibration solution in the second one revealed the problem... Now I'm wondering what I saved by buying two inexpensive refractometers?
