Damnit, I have 228 liters of dirty water…
Sounds like you need two oysters
Get 1 1/227 oysters.
Holy shit you’re a genious!!1
okay but how do i stop myself from eating the mollusk? thats barely 100 kcal
Oh, shucks
Eating the mollusk will enable you to drink the dirty water and have it filtered in your very own guts.
Let it filter the water and eat it afterwards.
does this hurt the oyster
they make pearls with the pain
Well you know what they say, can’t make an omelet without excruciating pain
I’m pretty sure this is just how they eat
Not really. You probably should avoid putting heavily polluted water through them though. They are the oceans waste buckets for poo water.
One of many reasons I don’t eat shellfish.
More for me.
Shell fish is not to be harvested after storm water events due to the increased fecal matter/particulate content of rivers. So I should be good.
Yes, it can. It can clog their gills, making their feeding less efficient, or interfere with their reproduction through chemicals that leach from the plastic particles. Source: I study bivalves
Will it take care of the nano-plastics for me or is that an upcoming firmware update?
Never buy a product based on a promise of a future update
it will, but please do not eat the oysters. However, even the oysters cannot save your from nanoplastics.
They are confirmed to be able to gather nano-plastics as larvae, and microplastic as adults, though no studies have looked at nanoscale particles in adult oysters from what I could find. They may ingest the plastic or package it up in mucus to expel as “pseudofeces”, trapping the plastic particles in the sediment. Source: I study bivalves
227? I got 2x 230. They always make it so that it is just too little so you buy another one! Slimy scammers!
Found George Banks.
The 800 number is missing a digit. Now how am I supposed to get my oyster?
Well there’s only 10 options, try them all! (For science)
Yeah but that’d be giving in to Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen and we can’t be having that
What do you recommend for a 1000L IBC tank?
5 oysters.
6, there be overage
You can offset that by changing the feeding schedule. Just replenish the tank with gray water every other day instead of daily and you should be fine with only four.

You might find it hard in a closed system to maintain the alkalinity needed for them to thrive long-term! Source: I study bivalves
Would a little agricultural runoff help?
Hard to say without knowing its composition. If rich in ammonium, the nitrification (oxidation to nitrate) might lead to lower alkalinity. If rich in nitrate, it might help alkalinity, but only if there’s some lower oxygen area of the tank like a bank of sediment, where denitrification can happen
That’s a big ass bucket
The pearl industry hates this one trick
This si what science textbooks are going to look like in 20 years.

I before E, except after C.
There are more words this didn’t work for than words this does work for…
