How can I safely stop algae growth in my water tank? Anonymous Sun May 28 14:30:17 2023 No.2623407 [Reply] [Original]

This tank contains the water for my outdoor irrigation system for hanging plants. It keeps growing algae, what can I do to safely(without killing plants) stop the algae build up in this water tank?
