Ozone reactors

[M3AN ONE]

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.

There are plenty of cheap ones out there, but here is what I chose: Poseidon Ozone Generator . Avast Marine has all the accessories needed for ozone use on freshwater systems.

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.

I have used protien skimming in the past, and it works well for flesh water as long as you have enough flow (pumpage).
I have also worked with ozonization, and it can benefit water quality
The use of a fractionation unit sometimes enhances es the fractionation potential.

Just curious what is your, your intension for ozone?

To make sure you are generating enough ozone to do the job you intend, ... constant monitoring and testing is needed, on both ends.
You need enough ozone production to scour tank water flowing into the reactor unit, but later, the ozone needs to be squelched so as not to damage sensitive gill membrane.
I regularly used the Indigo Trisulfonate (blue dye reagent) to test influent and later to see if it was gone by the tme in got to fish.
At the time I had easy access to calcium thiosulfate to drip if ozone got out of control

Below is my pond fractionator, that worked well.
The long reator column prevented ozone from entering the pond.
After a while I gave up on ozonization though, the fractionator worked well on its own, without ozone, removing algae, nitrate precursors, and evenj parasites.
The waste is spilled on the ground as foam.

I also beban using fractionation on tanks as well.

The bag is factionator waste,
