When thinking about this kit consider tests in the following areas:

Physical:  Temperature, salinity, light...

Chemical:  Nitrate, phosphate, CO2...

Biological:  Biomass Density, growth rates, species diversity...

Good luck!!!

This is the most simple manifestation of the kit, no frills, you provide the water and container.   It is designed for use themselves or in small groups.

Each student/group will receive 

• 1x Secchi Stick
• Algae culture (15mL - per kit)
• Algae nutrients
• Algae culture salts

Artificial Sea Water Kit, 500mL

$ 9.99

This kit is to make down 500mL of seawater for algae culure.  It contains salts and nutrients.  You will need to provide a 500mL bottle of drinking water.

Universal Brine Shrimp Refill Kit: Brainy Briny Algae and Brine Shrimp Refill

$ 8.99

We think that this kit is probably the coolest thing since the moon landing.  We have made and remade, tested, retested and reformulated everything... fifteen times (not kidding).  You can use this with our culture flasks or any other water holding container you can find. 

The kit is designed to use a 500mL bottle of drinking water.   You can grow the algae in the bottle, or use a separate container.  

 Each one of these kits includes:

• Salts
• Algae culture
• Algae nutrients
• Brine shrimp

Start the algae culture first and let it establish itself in the culture vessel. After a few days the culture will look more green, then add in the brine shrimp cysts. In a couple days they will hatch. The algae and Brainy Briny's can live for years without feeding if the light and temperature conditions are good.
