Aquarium (Fish Tank) Water Treatment

Using PIE Ozonation has significant advantages in fish hatcheries. Ozone is a gas generated from air or pure oxygen. As ozone is easily decompose to oxygen, the dissolved oxygen level in the fish tank could be increased. In addition, using ozone to replace chlorine for disinfection, fishes will not be exposed to the by-product of chlorination. PIE Ozonation kill the germs and bacteria from the water as well as maintain a good water quality at the same time. UV-Light has a great limitation in water treatment. It can be blocked by small particles inside water. Ozone can maintain disinfections capability even the water is highly polluted and turbid. It can also disinfect the fish surface and fish’s drops. In addition, ozone can reduce scaling by oxidizing the biological film that forms a substrate at water tank’s surface. This would reduce the workload in frequent tank’s cleansing and ensure a clean appearance.

Comparison between Ozone, UV and Chlorine (Chemical) in fish tank treatment

	Ozone	UV-Light	Chlorine
Reliability in Bacteria Elimination	Can be applied at highly polluted and turbid water. Water, fish surface and fish’s drops can be disinfected. Faster bacteria killing ability than UV-Light and Chlorine.	UV-Light can be blocked by small particles in water that reduce its effectiveness of disinfection. Fish’s surface and fish’s drops cannot be disinfected.	Effective in bacteria killing in high concentration. However, carcinogenic by-products may be produced after chlorination
Cost Expense	High capital cost but the lowest running expense. Use electricity in operation only.	Medium capital cost and running cost. Electricity consumption for UV is higher than ozone generation.	Low capital cost but high in running cost.
Draw Backs	Ozone is easily decomposed and should be generated on-site.	Need to clean the UV lamp frequently to maintain the lamp’s effectiveness. Not suitable for turbid water.	Suspected carcinogenic by-products are formed after chlorination.

Introduction of Ozone Disinfection

Ozone is an extremely reactive gas that kills bacteria 3,000 times faster than chlorine to use. It is widely applied in water and air disinfection as well as odor removal. Many European countries are encouraging ozone in replacement of chlorine or detergents for disinfections. Since ozone is a highly reactive gas, it can self-decompose into oxygen gas, which is no harm to human health. Beside air and water disinfections, it can be used to remove odor and volatile organic carbon, which usually exists in new furniture and leather.
