Question Ozonizers

I have decided that I want an ozonizer... now which one can I get away with? I have a 100 gal tank now and will be upgrading to a 300+ gal tank within a year or so. So my question is do I have to buy 2 ozonizers or can I buy the larger one and put it in the smaller tank for now? I will buy the probe and controller for it... so can I get away with it? I just don't want to spend money on an ozonizer just to abandon it in a year.

Buy a larger one.
Like the Red Sea 200.
They are controllable to the amount of Ozone you put in...so you don't have to put the full 200mg/hour.

hth,
Sean

How difficult are the ozonizers to set up? Are they any easier than a UV?

Sanders are the Best for what i have read...

you never want to run more than 100mg into any tank, it will destroy o-rings too fast if you run any higher.


and no UV is plug and play ozone is not...
