Ozone to MR-1 protien skimmer

[Anonymous]

Anyone know how to connect Ozone to the MR-1? Just run it to the intake of the needle valve?

I believe that is how some people do it. Check with Andy at MRC, I think he has a 'T' that you put in there somewhere and hook your ozone up to that.

What pump are you using on the MR-1?

Right now I am not seeing the reason for the tee - the ozone line goes right in the silencer hole with room to spare.

And so for, the MR-1 is kicking my ER's butt.

Cool, I always thought myreefc had some nice looking equiptment. Produces even darker thicker skimmate?
What model ER?

CS 6-3. At this point just more froth. They are both on the same system.

That is what I expected!

In anycase if the ozone goes in the skimmer and their is still space for it to pull additional air you should be fine!

Ok Ben. Give! Instead of making me search a million posts to understand why the beckett skimmer is working better than the venturi, 'splain it to me please!

:mrgreen:

Really it is what I assumed as I have run both a CS8-3 and a Bullet 3. Those models are compairable in size, and I was always much happier after I switched to a becket skimmer. I bought the Euro-reef after listening to escobals thoughts of long contact time. The euro-reef moves less water through it and gets a better contact time in the actual water. After using it for a while I wasn't very impressed. It was good but I liked the other becket skimmers I had seen so I traded my ER for the bullet 3, waste collecter, and mak 4.

IMO the becket skimmers perform better as they have a longer dry contact tube. The foam gets thicker and the mixing box is more turbulent. I am sure there is more to it then that but I can't see what. The bubbles in the ER are fine and well formed, pretty uniform in general.

Of course this is JME and YMMV, but I will always bet on the becket. :lol:
