We carry freshwater, brackish, marine, and extremophile cultures of algae. They grow to exhibit colorful pigments of red (phycoerythrin), orange (carotenoids), brown (fucoxanthin), blue green (phycocyanin), and our favorite->green (chlorophyll). Our algae strains have been selected because they are grown well in bottles and flasks. - SCIENCE PROJECT: Teachers, parents, and students - grow algae easily and get great results for inquiry-based projects. Because algae grow FAST experiments take a fraction of the time as land-plants (and algae is cooler!) Great experiments: toxicology, light quality, environmental changes, algae blooms. Blog posts detail science-fair winners and other projects. Students have sent our algae into SPACE THREE TIMES (would have been four, but the rocket exploded.. we still love you Space X.) - WHO WE ARE: Algae Research Supply is a small group of teachers and scientists with a mission of educating the next generations on aquatic science. Over 50% of the planet's oxygen comes from algae, however we are not emphasizing algae's importance in school- our mission is to make it EASY, AFFORDABLE, and REPEATABLE to teach algae in classrooms. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Algae Research Supply | | Item part number | CultureSalts-003 | | ASIN | B00C4VJHB6 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Algae Research Supply - **Liquid Volume:** 5 Gallons - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Target Species:** algae - **Manufacturer:** Algae Research Supply ## Images ![Algae Research Supply Algae Research Supply Salts Spirulina Alkali Media, Makes 5 Gallons, Perfect for School Science Fairs/Projects, Experiments & Classrooms - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GI+OP8mdL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what are your ingredients?** A: Sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate. **Q: I'm only using a 2 gallon fish bowl, can i split this into 3rds and add more whenever i need too?** A: I only used a couple of teaspoons in a half gallon, or a little more in a large volume, and add aeration or carbon dioxide supply. Too much is worse than too little. **Q: How often do you need to top up?** A: I do every two week **Q: Is this food grade?** A: Hi Ted, great question. The ingredients are food grade, but how you grow any algae is where the safety needs to be. Any problems that could arise usually come from poorly maintained pH. Our standard answer for consuming anything grown from Algae is that we offer "no guarantee warranty or prediction of safety." That said, people have been growing our Algae for years now and I have not heard of any issues come up.
