[Stan]

Put some flat rocks in a shallow pan of water and leave it in the sun for a few days.

what do you want to do with the algae? Experiment? Trying to make your own algae wafers?

sunlight, rainwater and warmth -might be a bit cold outdoors now, so indoor window ledge?

Hi all,

Put some flat rocks in a shallow pan of water and leave it in the sun for a few days.

I'd agree with Stan and Irene, I think JoZebs does this to feed her Baryancistrus. Should be all right outside for a couple more weeks then you will have to move them inside.

Try adding a little bit of "tomato feed", that will really get it growing.

cheers Darrel

Tank water is great to use...

While I dont mean to grow algea, I used to water change into semi transparent 25L barrels and withing 2 days the water was green... Really green!
