Final Thoughts:
So after running for 2 weeks we have a very healthy culture. The night after we set this up and got it running we had a cold snap and we had a little ice form in the tubes. We thought we may have killed off the plankton so I said what the hell and just ran it (being fresh out of live plankton culture and all). luckily it looks like some survived and we have a happy little carbon sucking colony now. This has been a fun project for me to do. Its kida cool to watch this stuff grow and develop. I will post updates as this runs every few weeks.

There is lots of great work going on with photo bio reactors. Check out these links:
