I use a bath tub and what I collect is alot of dirt and rocks because my horses like to put there hoofs in there and still up the water since I have 4 horses they drink very often so alge grows very slow but there is a 5 gallon tank that is offered on valley vet I believe it has a lid and connects to your water line. Its kinda of expensive. If you have RFDTV they advertise there 5gallon bucket there too. IF I see it again I will post it for you. Good luck..

We keep goldfish in the tank. They eat the algae, and we do not have to feed them.They do not bother the horses, and they actually come up to the top when the horses come to drink. They eat the little bits of food that come off the horse's mouth after the horse eats.

the best thing to use is a circulating pump if that is not available try galvanized watering tanks the green moss and algae does not grow in these tanks.

If you have a shady area to put it in try that. The algae blooms in sunlight the same reason fishtanks bloom by windows.

if you have 2 tanks or tubs, keep one clean and out in the sun to help kill the bacteria and algea, then rotate. I use one of those nylon body scrunchies to clean my tubs out and they have a string to hang them up and dry quickly.
