Proper nutrient levels, pH balance, cleanliness, and prevention of contamination are all critical aspects of ensuring water quality in algae cultivation. Regular testing helps monitor nutrient concentrations, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and pH to ensure conditions remain within the optimal range for the chosen algae species.
Filtration systems or pre-treatment of water can remove harmful particles, bacteria, or competing species before they enter the cultivation system. Aeration or gentle mixing keeps nutrients evenly distributed and prevents algae from settling at the bottom. Protecting the culture from invasive species, fungi, or harmful bacteria can involve using clean equipment, sterile culture techniques, and monitoring for signs of contamination helps
