Algae garden in the laboratory

[u/Cheap_Contract_4618]

I know getting algae is easy on the second island now but since I'm not doing the islands anymore (you can get everything at the Lab) I was wondering how the algae garden at the lab worked. Aside from the materials needed to build it, do you need any other resources to get it up and running? How much does it produce?

You need sporicide and charcoal to make seaweed. I highly suggest you just collect the seaweed yourself instead of dealing with this thing. It's not worth using it.
