Anyone know where I can go to do some research on this? I want to build a small reef out in front of our wharf.
Thanks
Thanks

I'm guessing it's a little more complicated than a bag of live oysters and some busted cinder blocks?

1. buy several sacks of oysters
2. shuck and eat them in an orgy of hedonistic gluttony(i'll come help)
3. throw shells out in front of dock, along with other hard substrate like chunks of concrete, gravel, etc.
4. wait for spat to attach and grow over next 2-3 years
5. Profit

I assume you mean salt water? I am on the Diversion and my neighbor came home one day with a 20' trailer loaded with garbage cans of oyster shells. This must have been '08, today they are all silted over. I would start with the fish light first and then work from there.

Thanks. I didnt know if you could buy them live and put out to jump start the process vs wait for them to start growing from scratch.

Reef balls are all over the Bay area here in Tampa. After you get the reef set, you can also buy "seedling" oysters. They come in a 5 gallon bucket and look like an old garfish egg slime. You drop the reef ball then spread the slime over. However, from what I am told they are sensitive to salinity and tempurature levels and are relatively pricey so you may want to do a little research before dropping the $
