Toxicology, light quality, environmental changes, algae blooms are a few examples of experiments.

Is the culture of Spirulina safe to eat?

Spirulina is safe to eat, but how it is raised and prepared can affect its safety. Proper cleaning and drying after harvest can help kill pathogens. However, we do not provide any guarantee or prediction of safety if you choose to consume this product.

What species is Spirulina platensis, Spirulina maxima, Spirulina fusiformis?

To the best of my knowledge, they are all the same species: S. Platensis.

How much can this algae grow in 5 days without adding nutrients?

Spirulina can double in biomass in 5 days without additional nutrients. The media it ships with will also provide enough nutrients for more than doubling.

How much solution will this culture make?

If done properly, you can continue to build your nutrient solution to feed the algae culture as you harvest. With the initial media, it can fill up to 5 gallons and start 3x five-gallon tanks. With proper care, you can have an infinite supply.

What nutrients do I need to add to keep the culture alive?

To keep the culture alive, you need to add animal feed grade urea, rock salt, baking powder, wood ash, and iron. These should be added proportionately every time you harvest as replacement.

Do I need to use an air pump and water pump for growing Spirulina in a five-gallon aquarium?

Yes, it is recommended to mix the culture somehow, either through bubbling or stirring.

Where can I find the freshwater nutrient media for growing this algae?

The nutrient media used for all strains, including this algae, can be found on our website. You can search for our company name, Algae Research Supply, to find the product.

What is the density of this culture?
