Ozone or carbon?

[viggen]

I have a 260g FO with a wet/dry, ER RC500 & that's it

I plan on hooking up my ocean clear canister filters one of these days.......

Anyways, my water is pretty much always a little yellow & I want it clear

What is the best way to do this? Some say Ozone & I have one picked out which is a Clearwater Microzone 300 & I forget the ORP controller.... it's $450

OR

just use carbon?

FWIW I do plan on going with a 530g tank in a year or 2 which is why the ozone unit is bigger then I need

Both

i say carbon should be present in any system. it cant hurt anything and it can help a lot. carbon is cheap compared to ozone, so get some carbon in it. you may want to consider a UV sterolizer also, i added one to my system about 6 months ago and it looks much better. UV will take the yellow/green tint out of your tank.

Carbon will take care of the yellow tint.

yup carbon for the tint the ozone will help as well.. the ozone compliments the carbon...

thanks everyone.....

so is it worth spending $450 on a ozone unit with ORP meeter?

I had a UV unit years ago & ended up turning it off because I was to lazy to change the bulbs....... I know.... slacker

I had some other items to order thus some carbon will be included in the shippment

On a large tank - if you can afford it - I say go for it.
