CFOh Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 hi all, my friend told me to put green mussels in my sump to filter feed my water. i am wondering if mussels are efficient enough? how fast do they clean the water? My friend tried before, she kept a numbers of them in her sump, not easy to maintain.. it will crash your tank when they die.. just like clam.. Cheers...

SRC Member Copperband Posted November 30, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted November 30, 2010 Musscles need highly nutrient rich water to thrive... else they wont get enough to survive..... Typically not doing well in house aquaria with the usage of protein skimmers and other nutrient export method.... To get them to thrive you need to feed them which is counter productive... Go green... use plants/algae.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
