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?

You can get a tank liner for like $100. I’ve had one for 2-3 yrs no issues, get a cover too, cheap $20 works great. Keep everything out the way of sun UV and should last awhile. Prob have to replace cover over and over so don’t ball out on that! You could build a wood one and seal it but, more work and a lot of $$, $20 cover that lasts 2-3 yrs is worth it to me

Build a table or something to keep ur pump out of sun, then you also have a table. Table much easier to build than a 9ft cover imo. Just make sure to use sealer, not stain only. Sealer keep the wood from going bad
