Wash tank with bleach rinse well with tap water, fill tank with pure and empty a couple of times.
When youv done this you need to stop sunlight getting at your tank as this is how the algea grows

Top tip on here years ago:

Paint it black. Before painting put a strip of masking tape on the tank from top to bottom. Once you have painted it, remove the masking tape. You will then be able to see your water level.

Once totally dry, put tank back into cage and touch up any scratches

Milton fluid. 3 litres in a 400ltr tank filled up & left overnight then drained & flushed out with the hosepipe.

Can't afford to waste that much water down our way - cheaper to put 400l of Milton in!
