Oyster Shell ?
Is it necessary to use only oyster shell for buffering your water or will any type shell work? I have access to lots of clam and scallop shells for free, I know oyster shells have calicum in them but what about other shells? just trying to save a couple of $. thx in advance

Have you guys tried Doc J's "hockey puck" formula? Worked for me.
