O3 gets converted to CO2 in the carbon filter by chemical reaction- Ozone
is _extremely_ reactive, and has a high affinity for forming covalent
compounds to things with lower reduction numbers, like carbon.  As for
using it as your CO2 source- the levels are far too low for effectiveness,
as to get a high enough of CO2 output, you would be spending a bundle for
O3 (whether injected or UV produced), and your carbon filter would
probably heat up to over 50 degrees C.  Fish soup.  The carbon filter does
not remove any of the CO2, so anything that is produced, should go into
the tank.
