Special Conditions for Bioluminescent Algae?

I want to make a fish tank with Pyrocystis fusiformis and/or Pyrocystis lunula so that critters in the tank will disturb the algae and make it glow. Does anyone know what special conditions/considerations I might have to make to keep a stable population in sufficient numbers?
 
I doubt you can keep these guys in a standard fish tank. They seem to be pelagic; pumps, filters, skimmer will quickly kill off the population.

Someone around here was working on culturing those guys I think. Did it like you would any phytoplankton.
