![]() TYPICAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS
CaCO3 (calculated from Ca) 97.5 % Boron 1400 ppm Calcium 39.00 % Titanium 100 ppm Silica as SiO2 (calculated from Si)< 0.01 % Lead less than 15 ppm Sodium 9200 ppm Copper 9 ppm Magnesium 1400 ppm Lithium less than 10 ppm Iron 430 ppm Arsenic less than 2.50 ppm Strontium 1400 ppm Nickel 75 ppm Manganese 430 ppm Heavy metals as Pb less than 20 ppm Aluminium 3500 ppm After seeing the the bags when I used to feed my chickens, yes I grew up on a farm, make your jokes now :D and knowing how dirty it is I would never use it. yes it can be washed but the high level of phosphates is enuf to scare me away.. I might as well be using Calgary water :D seriously though.. there are a lot of contamanants in crushed oyster shell that washing will not get rid of and that IMHO you don't want in your tank. Steve |
