Does anyone know if algae has any detrimental effect on growing tomatoes and other plants ? The water generally, at least here and during the summer, gets refilled twice daily. I would think that this "flushing" process prevents any type of stagnant environment, which I think could pose some problems. I'm sure algae has formed in mine, but has always "overflowed" clear water when I fill it. I've changed water containers for many an animal and pond over the years and swam in algae filled creeks..the key being cosmetically "clear" looking water..with no problems or ill effects.

Anyone know what problems could arise ?
