And the post really discloses the best of information about how to grow Algae under artificial illumination. And the lighting concept is extremely looking interesting about it. I am really surprised to know about it. Thanks for sharing some exceptional information about it.   This one is authentically looking the best of example of hydroponic gardening.

Can anyone suggest a suitable low cost nutrient source that would not compromise the algae for human consumption. I have developed thin algae tank that sits in the window frame and is fed a regular flow of CO2 from my Rice Wine (sake) vat.

We have to use artificial lighting and in fact promote growth with a 24 hour per day light dependent cycle. Thus we must disolve CO2 into the cultures semi-continuously as needed. Artificial light will never replace natural sunlight and the amount of energy spent on electricity for lighting versus compressed CO2 is tenfold.<br />algaequeen I grow algae for a living in the Pacific Northwest.

I am firmly convinced that the heterotrophic approach to growing algae is the answer. It can be done indoors and requires no light. We are experimenting with filters which will filter out the CO2 and allow only oxygen in as a needed gas for their production. <br />Our main concern here is to create energy independence, not CO2 sequestration.
