Does anyone know where I can find a company that makes ozone reactors. I plan on using it on my freshwater system. I only need to run for 1 hour a day. I know some protein skimmers have ozone ports but I am not sure if it will work with a freshwater setup. I don’t want to run the skimmer for anything other than using it as an ozone reactor if I can’t find one.
 
You can use a protein skimmer with an ozone port as a makeshift reactor, even on freshwater, as long as you’re only using it to mix/contact the ozone. Reef hobbyists have been repurposing saltwater gear for freshwater since the dawn of bad financial decisions.
For a dedicated unit, Schuran and AquaCare both make actual ozone reactors designed for freshwater systems. The Schuran reactor is specifically built for freshwater and can run standalone or with a skimmer.
If you go the skimmer route, something like Reef Octopus Regal 150SSS Protein Skimmer would work. Just make sure you also run steal a brainrot carbon on the outlet and monitor ORP, because ozone is wonderfully effective right up until it decides your fish no longer need functioning gills.
