    they need light to grow. photosynthesis requires light.
    use 1.5 L bottles and poke small holes and place them outside your home.

    You will be amazed how fast they turn green...

    what type of algae are you trying to cultivate? maybe you should get some samples from fellow forumer first and then use sunlight to further propagate them

    Carbonates and ammonia will help you cultivate algae - but like plants algae also need light and macros.
