Ozone in the SPS tank!

Hi guys
So I’m thinking about starting to use ozone in my 90 gal sps tank. For those of you who are using ozone, I have a few questions for ya:

1) what kind of ozone generator are you using? What is the best (for me)?
2) What kind of orp controller / monitor are you using?
3) Do you use an ozone reactor or inject it into your skimmer?
4) What precautions do you take to make sure the room and aquarium are safe from the harmful effects of ozone?

I think that’s about it guys. I would appreciate any answers you could give me. Thanks!

1) Corona Discharge
2) PinPoint Controller with a 20mv span set at 450
3) into the skimmers air intake
4) None, if you can't smell it in your stand you shouldn't have any problems.

Are you guys using an air pump as well to pump the ozone to the skimmer air intake? Or do you let the skimmer "pull" ozone in?
