I was wondering has anyone ever ran pure O2 on there tank? For example CO2 reactor during lights on and an O2 Reactor during the dark period? Would there be any harmful side effects? Or if running them at the same time would it allow you to push co2 levels higher?

O2 isnt as nearly soluable in H2O as CO2. CO2 is 40 times the dissolve rate of O2. You would loose most of the O2 out the surface.
Conversely, CO2 is more easily/readily released from H2O.

Oh ok that makes sense, what about an Ozone like they sometimes use on a SW tank? I think it is O3 if i remember correctly. Been awhile since i looked it up.

O_O interesting....never heard of putting 'ozone' into your tank.

Its very very common in reef tanks, helps maintain crystal clear water, it is done at very low levels.
