    Abstract: Black polyethylene storage tanks are an inexpensive and effective way to store water and simultaneously inhibit algae growth. However, based on other considerations, it may be desirable to use a storage tank with a non-black color. By producing a polyethylene water storage tank with a black inner layer and a non-black outer layer, the desire to inhibit algae growth and the desire to have a non-black exterior can both be met.
