    what is sodium percarbonate - probably it is sodium bicarbonate or acidic sodium carbonate, let's be more precise.

    It is precisely about:
    $$Na_{2}CO_{3}\ast1.5H_{2}O_{2}$$

    Hello,
    I pay homage to you, peroxyhydrate exists, there is a misunderstanding in the Polish translation, but the reaction products are not so indifferent.
    greetings

    So the weakest will be ordinary baking soda (bicarbonate) but it will change the pH of the soil anyway?

    Baking soda has a PH of 10.3, so it is a very alkaline compound. Although it has the name "sour". :D

    Hello . Maybe you can try effective microorganisms (EM), there is a little about it on YouTube. The problem should be solved with the benefit for the environment ... the only problem is that it will not happen overnight ... Regards and I wish you a win ;)

    Hello, I will dig out the topic.
    And what can I add to the 1000l tank so that the water does not turn green, but does not harm chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, etc.? We pump from the well to the tanks and we have it for use on the farm, we do not take it from the network because I would pay extra for the sewage system.
    I am waiting for a response :)

    First of all, protect the tank from light (sorry, I had to :D ) and keep the temperature low. It would be most advantageous to bury the tanks in the ground.

Topic summary

To clean a 1000L Mauser water tank of algae without damaging its walls, various methods and chemical solutions were discussed. High-pressure cleaning was suggested as a mechanical approach, while chemical options included caustic soda, bleach, and sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate was noted for its effectiveness and safety, with a recommended concentration of about 5g per liter of water, preferably hot. Users emphasized the importance of rinsing thoroughly after using chemicals to ensure safety for plants and animals, especially if the water is used for irrigation. Additionally, keeping the tank dark and cool was advised to prevent future algae growth.
