Setting up Ozone Generator safely?

I recently purchased a Ultralife Ultrazone 360 for my reef system and want to get this thing set up correctly. I really can't find any good information on setting up an ozone anywhere. I also purchased an ORP probe that will automatically shut off my ozone once my levels are at the desired level (350-450 from what I've read)

I've read and heard so many different things that I'm all confused. My father-in-law said that people run ozone generators in their house and I don't need to worry about venting the ozone coming out of my protien skimmer through carbon. Also heard I don't need to push the water through carbon either because of the ORP controler.

Then I've also read that I need to vent everything through carbon. Both the air coming out and the water going back into the tank. Yet the few setups I've seen don't vent the air at all and some don't run the water through carbon.

So, I'd just run the Ozone as is with my ORP controller and I did do this for 10 hours, but then I read that Ozone can cause damage to living tissue

So if someone can please help me seperate fact from fiction and get this set up correctly. I've look around and can't find any kind of Ozone Reactor to run everything through carbon, so...... What's what?

Sorry so long, just want to make sure I get this thing set up correctly and don't kill myself or my fish in the process.
