I didn't look back in the thread, but what are you running the output from the ozone generator through? If you smell ozone in the room then that is too much. Not necessarily from a health perspective but from a corrosion perspective. It will cause any rubber or plastic that is not ozone safe to become brittle and eventually crack which could lead to the failure of some equipment. I run ozone 24/7 on my 460 and I run the output through an ozone reactor similar to this one (mine is custom built by @Sisterlimonpot who owns and operates 4th Dimension Aquatics www.4daquatics.com) https://www.avastmarine.com/products/mutiny-ozone It works flawlessly to remove the ozone before it gets into the room and I only change the carbon out about twice a year.
Thanks for the info I will have to talk with 4th dimension aquatics about my ozone.I didn't look back in the thread, but what are you running the output from the ozone generator through?

Have you given thought to ending the PVC pipe above the tank and using LocLine to enter the tank with a LocLine fan nozzle? I realize this will cut flow a bit but you can also turn up the pump. Might be less intrusive and give you more directional flow options.Updates…..
I tried a black 45 for return and it looks decent, you really cant see it at times. I ordered black 90’s too, should clean it up nicely. Still on fence about it all. If the black 90&45 look good might keep it and do the same for other side, thoughts? I don't like it that much and its not much flow by the time it travels all the way to the end (I could always crank up eflow return) Kinda cool looking? (reminds me of an old 911 muffler) I don’t know, I need to get used to it or scrap it.
I hooked up the deltec return eflow 16 wow!!!!!!!! I love it…..silent and extremely powerful. Loudest thing is fans and the dehumidifier other than those two the tank is silent.
I’m in love with the deltec skimmer its silent and it produces tons of skimmate and the anti overflow option….truly is an amazing piece of equipment.
UV awesome! Ozone? Im still working on a solution to my ozone running safely and smell free.
Everything is running perfectly its almost all dialed in.
Have you looked into Seaswirls? I'll be adding this next.I have the pipes ready for the return line I was gonna run on each side to the other side of tank but. I just dry fitted it and it doesn’t look pleasing at all, actually kinda takes away the ocean reef feel.
Now I’m ready to scrap that idea.
I didn’t know what size pipe you were using. In theory, you could run 3 - 3/4 LocLine fittings evenly spaced out to match the flow of 1.5 inch pipe (depending on pump flow and pressure).Im using 1.5 inch pipe, couldn’t find loc line big enough, I'm considering 1.5“ vca rfg?
Can you do price breakdown on everything please? Settin up a 96x30x18 at the moment & that 500g is exact dimensions I want for my next build in probably about 5 years, in my head it was 8 ft x 4 ft x 2ft but I don’t mind extra 2 inIve had a bunch of different tanks, largest before this one was my 400, then before that a 300.
350&400 is very close get 500 96x48x26.
No complaints, amazing performance, and silent. I love it! Deltec is top notch.How you liking the return pomp from deltec considering ordering the 16 and a skimmer
