I haven't put any more nutrients into any of the cultures since my last message. The 1 gallon culture is definitely growing. The smaller clumps of green have...
I'm interested in what growth rater I can get without aeration if there is enough surface area. It rained so I: 1) collected 1.5" in a 12"x8"x2" glass pan, 2)...

Jamey, Thank you for your interest. I have started cultures of four species in a relatively small space and believe your idea of being a secondary culture...
I just wanted to make a few notes about the 1 gallon culture: The due to growth of the algae, the mixing caused by morning aeration now results in a green...
(Long post warning) Jamey asked about this species off-line. I thought others might be interested. Most of my information comes from the synopsis for a speech...

Hi James, You definitely need to be careful about direct sunlight and the possibility of the culture becoming too warm. These are plants and to grow and...
I took 1/3 of one of the 1 gal cultures and poured it into the outside tub just for fun. The algae sort of congealed into a cluster after not too-long-a-time....
