This algae is called coralline because it forms a hard calcium structure by accruing calcareous deposits within its cell walls.
See this picture www.flickr.com/photos/jrosenk/5035561928/ to get an idea of how these algae use a crustose form to adhere to the rock in the tidepools

I am trying to create a algae bloom with very minimal resources. On
the left is a old glass jar with some recently harvested algae from
our hot spring drain. On the right is a mixture of sugar and yeast
with some hot spring water which I am trying to generate CO2 with to
send over to the algae.

This evaporation pond was recently drained and refilled. I was there two weeks ago when the pumps were running. The water itself is pretty clear and you can see through it to the pond bottom. However, the surface is carrying a large bloom of algae.
The Coyote Hills are visble toward the east near the horizon.

A family of swans that Mrs Odd Bod and I fed during a visit to a local park in Birmingham. We have been going back weekly to see the swans ever since we first noticed mother swan looking after eggs.
Mother swan is just below the babies in this scene but I decided to cut her out since I wanted the little uns to be the focus with the green background.
Did it work?

Algae in Silfra is not plentiful but gives a spash of color on the desolate rocks between the Teutonic plates.
Some moments of unicellular algae life. Their reaction on sunlight is clearly visible - sun was shining from the left, while I used my finger to block this light off for some moments.

Video was taken by Olympus E-PL1 camera with bellows and 50mm lens. Algae were contained in improvised "tank" made of two microscopy glass plates glued together with transparent rubber tape to form the ~1.5mm thick cavity.
