Iron Bacteria

I had several specialist looking at my water. The symptoms? open the toilet tank lid and you see a slimy film and slime on the tank walls. I know it is iron bacteria.

Is here someone who could help me with this project, please! I am thinking of using a pool ozone generator around 3g/h output, just wondering if someone would guide me at least thru the plumbing part, i mean how many venturi injectors to use, their sizing, also how to off gas the ozone and so on
