ozone will wear on some materials and shorten the life of some materials.... Is it that noticable... Idk never ran it.... Some people do some don't.... I've seen a lot of tanks who run it with amazing results... Can the results be attibuted soley to ozone? Probably not.... But CAN it enhance the aquariums beauty... I think there is enough evedence too say yes

you should hear us debating about fish and corals 
Clint- I didn't mean to imply flow randomizers werent effective. It just my thought that longer duty cycles on the flow direction help stir up detritus better than short. Of course, with wavemakers, you won't have a dead spot anywhere.

A more frequent randomised crashing of waves will keep the stuff in the water colum though....

How fast of a process is it though.... Let's say the skimmer is designed to last 10 yrs.... Will ozone make it last 6? There will be a better skimmer in 6 yrs anyway and I'm willing to bet regardless the skimmer will be upgraded by then

depending on how much you run i know that i lost a brand new Euro-reef RS220 in about 6 months. i picked it up to clean it and the stupid this just cracked (and i was not being ruff with it!) there are things you can do to get the binders that O3 does without wrecking your gear. infact i'm not so sure O3 is run all that often no more. with ZEO Probido, good GFO it just seems like you could do the same thing safer.

Chad- outa curriosity what changes are you thinking? To be honest the ammount of phyto needed to support some other nps creatures like feather stars scares me.... The ammount I'm going to be feeding alrerady has me on edge.....
I'm deffinetly going to have some nps corals in the tank but the nps inverts really scare me

I'm guessing ozone is run in less than 15 percent of aquariums, so you are right on the uncomon thing... I'm honestly trying to run this system as simple as possible and I don't want to have to many different things to watch.... I've been on rc chatting with a few people who run ozone and I found most that do not run at the recomended ammounts for different reasons.... Most common is the wear on equipment.... Typical response was they keep it at .01 to .015... Not the .03 that's recomended...
Has anyone run zeovit on a lps dominated tanks?

And what was your logic behind running it on a mixed reef?

Well I'm guessing certain elements of ZEO would be wise, not nessacary but deff another thing to look into
