Calcium Reactors, and Ozone producers

[plum70rt]

Ok Im ready to supercharge my System, what can you guys tell me about the best systems out there?
it would be for my 262 Gallon

Ozone is bad for reefs. O3 strips the water of to the usefull stuff filter feeders depend on. It is more for ick prevention.

I have the Aquazone II ozonizer, but have still not used it, I picked it up during the year of collecting the parts, and information on reef systems before going to my 90 gal. When I do hook it up to the protien skimmer it will empty into a large container of carbon to filter out the 03 leftover. I think that I will use it on a limited basis.
Unlike some people who use the UV light and wonder if it is doing there systems any good, from reading I know ozone will work and do what it is supposed to, but as you knwo there are warnings involved.
Therefore Plum70rt I can not tell you which system is better, I guess it's like asking which protien skimmer is better.
I assume you have enough information about ozone use?

Yes , Im just curious if many people use them and what types , I know that you can kill all your fish if not used correctly , and that its suposed to be better than a UV, a ORp monitor should be used and it should be between 300 to 400, and should shut off if it goes higher, is there a real benefit?
Also thomas what you think of a calcium reactor?

Sorry Plum - no experience with calc reactors, only what Iv'e read.
