gregorfd November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 Question for folks out there, apt was washed out during Hurricane Sandy...apt owner is drying carpets and will replace pad. They have also offered an ozone treatment to the apt to remove any lingering smells. Will this treatment pose any threat to my 120g and 90g mixed-reef tanks? apt owner is also requiring me to move 1 tank (ya 120g) temporarily to get to carpet underneath it....bleh 2 days of pain ahead. thanks in advance on any comments related to the ozone question.

Origami November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 Most likely, no. It's unlikely to raise the ORP in your tank by any substantial amount in the short amount of time these treatments often take place. How long will they treat the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregorfd November 2, 2012 Author Share November 2, 2012 Not sure yet, maybe an hour or 2? apt is not that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgets November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 You should be fine. Heck I'm injecting ozone directly into my tank. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 You'll be fine without making any adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 What i always recommended to people with fish tanks was while we were ozoning, make sure to turn the skimmer and any other media off...you can keep your powerheads and pump running, and to turn off the lights and cover the tank with a blanket or towel... also, you cannot be in the apt when its on,lol for a 900sqft apt we had tiny plug in wall ozonators...would do 2 hours each room (gets rid of mildew/mold smell and tobacco/marijuana smell also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 November 3, 2012 Share November 3, 2012 Only thing I would ask them to do is to avoid using the ozone with the scent... they used a cherry scent in my house after a fire and it stunk up the joint for days... didn't have any affect on any of the tanks.
