Valk,
I cant speak about the ozone generator with regards to your aquarium but we use one in the process of our bottled spring water and what it does is disinfects the water without the use of chemicals (naturally occuring gas)so it depends on what you want the ozone generator to do.

Ozone can be passed through aquarium water to oxidize all forms of organic pollutants and kill many of the same organisms that ultraviolet radiation does. Commonly used in skimmers, one should make certain the materials used are "ozone safe" and that the water is passed through activated carbon before returning it to the aquarium because any residual ozone in the water is extremely toxic to the fish. Ozone is useful mainly in large public aquariums to keep the water from coloring.

I would go for an UV unit. It has almost the same effect and much safer and eaiser to install.
