Green algae.   Not Greek

[dave0123]

bleech with a little bit of water to cover the bottom leave to soak.. and then wash it out around edges

[rg1]

and to stop it happening again, cover it so no sunlight gets to it 

[Smudger]

Acgood jet wash in and out and as rg has already said cover them over or place them in a shaded area

I did find when I was using them day in day out the water never went green even in the summer ( didn't have time to settle )

Find someone with a swimming pool.  Get a small jar of their chlorine powder (or buy a lifetime's supply, 2kg for £10-£12).  Put a level teaspoon (level it with a knife, should be about 4g) in a full IBC.  It'll raise your TDS to about 3 but you can use it.  Every 1000 litres that go into your IBC for the next couple of weeks, put half as much in (so about 1/4 teaspoon).  Algae will disappear.

It'll also kill off any legionella in there, which is no bad thing.

i have one of them blow up hot tubs, you can buy chlorine powder for cheap for these as the other person said do this, and then paint it black

Pressure jet would do wouldn't it?
