Clarification: The ozone is disinfecting the water to help rid root rot and algae outbreaks.

I'm currently into day 59 with my test setup. Root rot problems in my last grow we're slight but annoying. So I looked into an alternative besides teas.
This far into the grow i'm super impressed with the setup. Only needing to top up nutrient levels and just topping up water used. One water fill for the whole grow is a HUGE bonus as well as the cost of throwing away nutes.
Well heres some pics of the setup and growth to date.

Any questions hit me up.

The closest left hand reservoir tote in the first post has the ozone mixer (venturi skimmer). My ozone generator is set at 380 ORP with a controller that monitors ph and orp level, if orp drops below it turns on the ozone generator, ph above 5.9 turns my ph pump on to keep it automated as much as possible.
My tap water once ran through filters has a orp of 455, thats drops to 100 orp after 24hrs. At 100orp i was getting algae greening.

For general info theres 12 maxi gOms in 2 totes, one nute res, recirculating nutrients between 3 reservoirs. 1 sprinkler reservoir, 1 ph reservoir. 2x 600watt hps bulbs in air cooled hoods. Dutch master gold nutes (full range). Water chiller set at 17c . Each plant res has a powerhead circulating water to stop stagnancy, 3x 4ft curtain bubble lines in each tote, and a 125ltr a minute air pump powering the air lines. The whole system is automated bar water top ups and nutrient top ups.
