Oops. The spammers have found us. Based on my experience with the lists that I moderate, I recommend: Dumping and bannign this poster, of course (mind you,...
I believe that is incorrect. The correct freshwater species is arthrospira platensis which is actually listed by Carolina Biological Supply Company on the web...
I'm about to terminate this experiment. There are mosquito larvae showing up so I don't have much time to empty the pond before they metamorph. I tried...
James, I see your point. 15 -1721 looks like the one you want. Good catch. I'm glad you caught that and mentioned it, in case a lurker was relying on my guess....
Hi James, Get some "Mosquito Dunks" for the mosquito larvae... they work great.... floating, slow-release cakes with BT, nontoxic to everything else. OSH ...
A previous night's activity: I used the fresh water and empty bottle prepared previously to reduce the salinity of one of the "grow bottles": 1. Empty one of...
Early this morning, I put the algae into the grow bottles. As I write this, I should have algae growing - actually 4 different species growing. I am growing...
Another previous night's activity: Prepare the aeration system: 1. In some surplus bottle caps, drill a 7/32" hole. (A 13/64" or 3/16" would also work, but I...
Oops --- In step 2, I said the air tubing was 7mm. It is not specified - it says standard aquarium tubing. Bobby ... -- Toward freedom, Bobby Yates Emory...
Another previous nights activity: For the species I am attempting to grow, Two of them use one "food" and two used another. I. Put 100 ml of "supernaut from...
And now the big night: After the nutrients have been added and allowed to bubble for at least 24 hours: 1. Read the nutrient from a grow bottle label. 2. Find...
Apologies if this is a repeated topic. Has anyone any data on the properties of the oil produced by these algae? I'm particularly interested to know how good...
Jack, s. has verry little oil. The drying process may have depleted what little it did have. It would be my assumption that we will need to extract oil...
... Oil from algae is similar to fish oil. Once it is converted into biodiesel by transesterification, it is a diesel replacement. Google for "algae...
If it is similar to fish oil, why make biodiesel from it? Fish oil will replace diesel straight from what I am told. Neal Oil from algae is similar to fish...
Neal, The conventional answer to your question is so that you don't have to modify your car. Biodiesel will run in any diesel. But I agree with you. I intend...
Actually, I think the cause is the other way around. I think the fish are eating the algae, getting the oil from them, and that is why fish oil is like algae...
... Actually if it is vehicle mods we're talking about -- Diesel himself used powder. There is a lot more caloric content in the whole algae powder than in the...
If an engine can run straight fish oil, then it should be able to run algal oil, also. However, transesterfied oil from either fish or algae is more like...
James, And the process for making dried algae is simple. Do you have any idea how he injected the powder? Bobby ... -- Toward freedom, Bobby Yates Emory...
Ed, A few Catch-22s: 1. The usual alcohol to use is not just any alcohol, but methanol, which is hazardous. 2. The normal procedure is to use a catalyst-...

Here's an entire web page full of references. Again the sulpher problem remains for algae slurry but I really have no idea how bad of a problem sulpher would...
James, This gives several references on coal slurry: http://www.mengr.tamu.edu/Research/E3/Ref3.html and one of them - this one - gives a way to prevent the...
I believe I have algae growing. Two of the grow bottles have the soil seawater medium. The medium is so dark, I cannot tell if there is growth. The other two -...
OK, I got my arthrospira platensis (commonly known as the nutraceutical "spirulina") from Carolina Biological Supply today and the first thing they tell me...
