I am trying to grow spirulina at home but i am a bit confuse. Now every time I turn the air pump on the water starts to create some bubbles so I can't turn it on because it will spill all of my water and spirulina. I don't know what to do could someone help me?
I was thinking it might be a problem with the amount of nutrients i put in the water maybe? Not sure.
Dear Megan,
It is usual for an air pump to produce bubbles when it is turned on, as this is the function of the pump. However, the bubbles should not be so strong as to create a disturbance in the water that could damage your spirulina culture. Here are some suggestions to help you address this issue:
Spirulina requires aeration to grow, so running the air pump is essential. However, ensuring that the bubbles do not damage your culture is equally important. With some experimentation, you should be able to find a solution that works for you.
Yours sincerely,
