As the title states, i'm purposely trying to grow some algae on some river rocks. I cant seem to find a thread that has the info I'm looking for.
I have a plastic container (with lid) sitting outside under the sun with river rocks in it. I used a few squirts of easy green in the water also. Additionally I have a tiny solar powered water pump circulating the water. After about the week, the water is green-ish, but the container is filled with mostly hair algae. When I go to take out some of the rocks to inspect them, its very slimy overall. Definitely not growing the type of algae I expected.
What am I doing wrong?
