So last week I had some problem with my Spirulina. I probably lost 75% of the colony because I though putting the container near by the window, it would grow faster. When I came back to school to check, the color turned slightly yellowish. In fact, it means that the Spirulina burnt. The water became too acidic because of the temperature augmentation.
Spirulina dies over 40°C. And in my case, the weekend was quite sunny and next to a window in the almost closed container, the green house effect probably pushed the temperature closed to 60 °C.
Here are some pictures :
Also I just received 4 other pumps and I will also get 4 other tubes :
David told me it would be safer to put the air pump pipe from the top. He is right, if the pump stop the water will flow into the pump and it will be damaged.
