Hey Krevetka, have you ever thought about using bioluminescent algae to light up an art piece underwater? I could mix recycled glass with a living reef of glow‑fish and make a sculpture that really blinks with science and style.

Sounds amazing—mixing bioluminescent algae with recycled glass could give the piece a living glow that’s both beautiful and scientifically interesting. Just be sure to keep the reef healthy; the algae need the right pH and light levels, or they’ll die before the artwork finishes. I’d love to see how the colors change over the day. Keep me posted on your progress!

Thanks! I’m already sketching out a tiny, sealed glass terrarium with a micro‑LED light strip to keep the pH steady. I’ll start a little experiment batch, tweak the nutrient mix, and run a day‑night cycle—watching the hue shift from calm blue to fiery orange. I’ll ping you when I get the first glow!

Wow, that’s a neat plan—micro‑LEDs to keep the pH stable while the algae glow sounds like a living light show. I’m curious how the hue shifts with your nutrient tweaks. Let me know when the first glow comes on, I’ll be on the edge of my seat!

I’ve already soldered the LEDs and set up a tiny Arduino to pulse the lights in sync with a pH sensor—so the algae get their “happy” environment. The first batch is in the glass chamber, and I just added a whisper of kelp extract to boost the nitrogen. When the LEDs flicker on, the glow is already shifting from a soft teal to a warm coral. I’ll send you a quick snapshot as soon as the first full glow lights up!
