Is there such thing as ozone poisining ? Since I have installed my ozonator and ORP meter I have had a few unexplained deaths in my tank . I have it set at 300 .The lastest was a bi-color dottyback this morning. He was fine last night and I turned the ozonator on last night as well. I only have two other fish in the tank and they are fine as well as the shrimp . snails and coral . It happened two other times as well. 3 chromis fell victim one time and a Flame Angel the next. I'm at a loss of words .

Any ideas ?

are you running carbon after your skimmer to help remove excess ozone?

It is advised to vent any air from you skimmer or waste collector, as well as the return water from your skimmer through carbon. This will remove any suspended ozone from the air/water.

Don't know about fish but ozone is lethal to humans. I know that if you can smell it... well it's not a good thing. Make sure you are venting or filtering.
