Microalgae Cultures

[Luke Schnabel]

I got a culture kit from flordia Aqua farms. My filter was doing great for about two weeks now it's just all settling on the bottom. I have tons of flow in the bottle. The water is now clear and all the micro algae is settling to the bottom.

Anyone have a suggestion to keep the algae suspended in the water colum?

Up the bubbles. That should keep the flow inside the bottle strong enough to keep the Phyto in suspension.

I'll have to get a larger pump. They are all the way max it looks like a hot tub. I'm going to try smaller containers I guess.

I use a rigid plastic tube connected to the air line. So the outlet for the air is at the bottom.
