dunpeal Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Bought a dozen Pacific oysters from Uwajimiya, ate 4 of them and the rest went in the refugium after a slow acclimation. Bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Define "Pacific". That could range from cold waters in Alaska to warm waters in Baja. Even if you acclimate them, I can't imagine a species expecting 50 F water temps to survive in a 78 F aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pacific oyster, Japanese oyster, or Miyagi oyster, is an oyster native to the Pacific coast of Asia. It has become an introduced species in North America, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand.

dunpeal Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Dr. Dendrostein on reef2reef has 60 of them in his tank. From what I've read, the most difficult part is providing enough food to keep them from starving. My setup is 150g DT with 40g sump/refugium. I threw one of the 8 into my frag tank and it's doing fine. So Im going to feed heavy and see how it works out. They might be more effective than a skimmer? Certainly cheaper, 13 bucks for a dozen. It's been almost 2 days and they are all still alive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
