Is there a way to speed up the acidification process of the muscle shells? I don't have enough time to do the one month long version.

Hello!

You can make the pH of the acidified seawater jars lower than the suggested 7.5, which should speed up the process. However, it still make take at least a few weeks to see a clear difference on the shells. How long is your time frame?
Also, let us know if you have any more questions!
