If someone wanted to make algae grow say like in a 2 litre bottle, how would you go about doing this?

When you do a water change, add the old water to the bottle. Then place the bottle in any place that receives a lot of sunlight. You should have visable algae growth in about a week.

Water with any kind of nutrients in it will allow algae to grow when exposed to direct sunlight. Old tank water will be ideal, but even rain water will allow algae to grow in it if it's set out in direct sunlight and not kept moving...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.
