| thats not for grow algae is for make artificial greenwater
Artificial Greenwater Recipe
Mix a suspension of 1 level tablespoon spirulina powder per litre of distilled water and fed at a rate of about 10~50 mil per 20 litres - but only if the water has cleared from any previous feeding. The amount of the powder is not so important that you need exact measures. It should not be so much that it won't go into solution and should be enough to make the mixture a dark green colour.
