	Ozone In Distilled Water
fishkid99 Enthusiast Posts: 252 Kudos: 218 Votes: 39 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	I went to Acme today and with the intent of buying some distilled water. The only distilled water there was Acme brand. I read the lable on how they filter the water and it said (under other stuff including uv) it was also purified with ozone. I didnt buy the water because of that but im just curious: would any ozone in the water affect my fish and inverts. ? Im shure the amount of ozone is only trace but still id rather be safe then sorry. thanks >>>----> <----<<< pnh

I would go ahead and get it, like I said I use it on a freshwater tank. ________________________________________________ I like Led Zeppelin.

It used tobe common practice to use ozone generators on reef tanks and still is used, you can buy ORP controllers from milwalkee for about 90 dollars, and an ozone generator for another 120. So basically what I am saying is, if the ozone gas is still present which it is probably not, It is actually kind of good for your tank to a certian degree.
