I was wondering AFTER my green water is settled in my indoor tank can I have a media filter with only oyster shells as buffer?

Hi Maniacholic,

Purpose of oyster shells is for pH boost. Sodium BiCarbonate is still your best choice to maintain your tank water pH level

Adding a simple air filter with sponge within in an indoor green water water setup is fine. But I supposed you will need to wash the sponge every 1 or 2 days. Bear in mind that we try to keep a low level of BB in a green water setup because large BB colony might collapse your green water.
