Bro, care sharing more info on this as to why is it better than Coral chips and the function of them in sump??

[Underwater]

More expensive than liverocks though.

Haven't actually seen good claims of oyster shells over coral chips.

Aren't coral chips more porous have more surface area.

+1 for coral chip then.

Maybe TS would like to share his findings. Yes, much more exp than good grade live rocks.

i rather go cf spend the money on nice liverock than to spend 20/kg on some shells n leave it in my sump

My guess is that it is used to buffer PH cos shells are basically calcium carbonate. As for the cost per kg..... It'd better come with grade A pearls inside at that price

Oyster shell can be used as a good PH buffer, but it has to be throughly wash / clean and treated before being able to be used as a filter media.

ebay selling 20 pounds(9kg) of crushed oyster coral shell substrate aquarium for S$30++..

that works out about $3.33 per kg..

just curious how come yours command such a high price?

[yikai]

$20/kg can get me oyster shells with the oyster in it lol. eat liao still got shell

[albinosage]

Kiko, prices of goods depend on several factors like demand and supply, origins of goods and quality. But my guess is high overheads, cos it is not cheap to maintain multi nicks and buy a prepaid phone line for each

maybe there's charge for manual labour as the oysters are picked from sisters island?? lol..

Oyster= MAN POWER!!!

ROAR!!!

We always go international buffet for oysters, maybe the restaurants dun mind us packing back the empty shells after eating, thus helping them to clear and lighten their bins, free wor.

[Copperband]

what advantages does oyster shell has over aragonite.... both made of the same material..... i dont think it does anything to marine tank..... proven that Shells/aragonite will not alter water chemistry in full strength Seawater....

Maybe CR media? hmm... thats something to think about ...

Perhaps more advantagous for F/w Tanganyika/malawi chiclids keeps.... ?

Petmart $5 a pack. Don't know the weight though.
