Hi everyone!
My friend went to Virginia and brought back some empty oyster shells. I’m wondering if I could add one to my tank, just for looks.
Does anyone have experience with this? I saw some people say they do it all the time, others warning that it would introduce harmful pests/bacteria. I don’t see the latter happening because I would either soak them in hydroxide or outright bleach them before adding. But could this have a harmful effect? Could the shells absorb and re-release chlorine?
Thanks!!
