More information needed, please. What are you keeping in it? Do you have any filtration? Any water plants? Direct sun or shade?How can I get the water run my outdoor 500 gallon stock tank from turning green?
And how can I keep the mosquitos away?
Anything I can add to the water?
Look into obtaining some daphnia or "water fleas". you only need to drop a cup or two in there and they will multiply like CRAZY. They thrive off of green water and will provide a more than staple food source for fish if you end up going that route too. But if you want to keep the daphnia out of the main area, you can build a small floating boxed area out of a frame wrapped in cheese cloth that allows green water to come in but doesn't let the daphnia out. Then you can control and contain their population and get rid of them whenever you need. Local aquarists will pay you for whatever you cull out as they really are an excellent live food for fishes. If you go that route you will have a steady hand of side cash coming your way. I did it a few summers ago and was not disappointed.How can I get the water run my outdoor 500 gallon stock tank from turning green?

They do an EXCELLENT job at making the water turn clear without the hassle of expensive UV sterilizers.
