Do u know of anything to clean water buckets with to get rid of Alge? Is it safe to use bleach?

Copper Sulphate which is a powder works.

yes it is safe. just rinse well. don't "obviously" get it on your jeans.

i have heard about putting some rocks in the bottom and keeping fish in there to eat alge and other things growing.  ive heard it works really well, you just have to bring them in for the winter though

fwiw we started putting a chlorine tablet meant for a swimming pool in our stock tank.  No algae, no black scum, just rust sediment on the bottom.  Helps the transition to city water at the shows also.
