Reducing algae/mold in RO/DI reservoir

[Rp8]

Are there some simple ways to eliminate or reduce algae growth in my RO/is reservoir? It is in an area that may get hit with a little direct sunlight. It’s in My garage. No where else to put it. I have a power head to keep water moving. Someone suggested a cap of bleach, I promptly unfriended them lol. Right now I just make what I need for ATO and water changes. I would like to fill the reservoir all the way to save time in the long run.
thanks in advance

Wrap the container with something to block the light. You could probably just use a large black trash bag and pull it over the top.

That crossed my mind, my first thought was that it would be kind of unsightly. I can give it a try tho! Thanks

If you can keep it tight it won't look terrible. I agree that it won't show as nice as the tank you have.

Blocking light whether it be location, small garbage bag, blacking out windows- Avoid light
