The worst enemy of Bioluminescent Algae are Green Algae, that are often contaminating the cultures. As they grow faster, they will consume the nutrients and air in a higher level, which can affect the Bioluminescent Algae in a bad way. In order to limit the growth of the Green Algae, you can use a Blacklight bulb instead of a cool daylight bulb. This light will not affect the Bioluminescent Algae as they are still able to do Photosynthesis with it in opposition to the Green Algae that absolutely needs daylight in order to perform this process. | The worst enemy of Bioluminescent Algae are Green Algae, that are often contaminating the cultures.

A few weeks before the exhibition, extending the light cycle by a few hours (ex: 14h light / 10h dark) will provide more photosynthesis to the organisms and will thus gives more illumination during the night cycle. | A few weeks before the exhibition, extending the light cycle by a few hours (ex: 14h light / 10h dark) will provide more photosynthesis to the organisms and will thus gives more illumination during the night cycle. | ||
