[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12099"] Algae is on-going problem in stock tanks. We have total of 12 stock tanks in our various pen areas ranging from about 75 to 400 gals each. All have drain plugs in them. We top off tanks every day or two and let tank overflow and lot of the algae washes over the side. Then, about once every 7-10 days (depending on how dirty the water looks) we drain tank(s), wash it out and re-fill it. We also use a swimming pool skimming net to remove surface algae from time to time. All of this is labor-intensive; however, it keeps the water relatively clean and healthy for our cattle and horses. Also, it removes any mosquito larvae swimming around in water. [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
