I actually helped research this as an undergrad. The problem we’d always face is there are certain microorganisms, like rotifers, that can just decimate a tank of algae. Many rotifer species are parthenogenic, so it literally only takes one rotifer to knock out an entire algae tank.
Possible not, you need to maintain the growth conditions for the algae, that has some meaningful energy cost.
Glass panel over it for greenhouse?
Can’t use more power than carbon skimming.

What if we genetically modified the algae to be impossible to kill and survive in extreme conditions. Like the algae equivalent of kudzu.
You’re basically exchanging a world-ending Gray Goo Scenario for a world-ending Green Goo Scenario.
You need more than a green house lol.
I only ever had problems with too much algae in our pond…
You’ve figured it out.
