boosting protein skimmers performance

[Carpentersreef]

When people use the term 'boosting PS performance", is there a difference between adding an airpump only and adding an ozonizer? I know that adding O3 will oxidize organics more, but what does adding extra air from an air pump into a protein skimmer do besides increase water surface/air exchange?
I have a protein skimmer that is non adjustable.
Should I hook up my regular air pump, or my ozonizer?
My PS is an Aquamedic TF5000. (48" high x 8"wide)

Thanks,
Mitch

As the Aquamedic skimmers use a venturi i would avoid adding a pump, but if you have an ozonizer defenately add that. Then at a later date you could connect it to a redox controller.

Hey Mitch,

The only ones i have heard of people moding would be the seaclone...and that had to do with altering the length of the inner chanmber to get more buble exposure time, or something to that effect.
