1. A method for providing light deep into liquid disposed inside of a container, the container including a water inlet, a water outlet, and a water-tight lid configured to enclose the container, the method comprising:
using a light conductor, at least partly submerged in the liquid, to conduct a narrow-angled light beam from a light source disposed outside of the liquid to a point inside the liquid inside the container, the light beam having an intensity high enough to prevent growth of algae on a surface of the light conductor inside the liquid where the light beam escapes the light conductor; and
injecting a stream of bubbles into the liquid wherein the stream of bubbles intersects and scatters or diffuses the narrow-angled light beam escaping from the surface of the light conductor.
