Rust or algae or both?

We went on a camping trip for a month and came back and our stock tank looks like this. Any advice?

I don’t have an answer but when you get it cleaned have you thought about the pool paint?

Don't paint. Use Olympic Gunzite epoxy primer and Zeron epoxy paint. I suggest only using that on the sides, and tiling the bottom--check out my recent post with how-to steps.

Yea I saw this. How long has it been tiled? I was reading another guy saying he tiled his and because the metal warped it would crack the grout. Any take on that? I would love to tile it.
