Aquarium Advice Newbie
It may just be sacrilegious to all of you, but for a science project I need to grow algae. I am planning on growing as much of it as possible as fast as possible as I am going to make it into oil eventually, but unfortunately I can't find anybody who has ever actually tried to grow algae before, and so nobody I can find has any advice.
Do any of you have any ideas? The algae is specifically chrysophyta, or golden algae, which is more related to diatoms than anything else. I am thinking that as much light as possible, with a good bit of carbon dioxide, in a large, shallow aquarium. I think that if you know what to do to avoid algae, and I can do the opposite, I can grow it.
Thanks for any help, I know it's an odd request.
