hi spade
i have practised what i preached above from 1980 when i bought my first van right through to 2005 when i quit my third van and if you read the other threads herein
you will see others do like wise with good results and its all 3 for me over many years
as i said algae needs -air /space and sunlight to grow a full black poly tank and black poly connecting hoses deprives it of these elements
it only ever grew in my tank when left half full like someone else said you can drain a tank but it does'nt mean the tank is bone dry
and i found out by trial and error that
mine alway had water still in it even after i thought i had drained it and thats all algae needs to start growing quiet rapidly
i have also had many years of experience on a
farm with the same issues in water tanks and troughs exposed to sunlight and air half full and full
what more can i say
take it or disbeleive it the choice is entirely yours does'nt really bother me i'm easy no sweat
but i dont write stuff on here to mislead anyone and hope it is of use and hopefully
be helpfull to someone if not all
cheers and enjoy a good drop of h2o
