Hi Angie,
I've had this happen too, and in the little that I've used such water I've
noticed no effects one way or another. If I get a lot of algae in the water
I try to scoop it out and throw it on the garden instead of in my CPs. Like
Charles Brewer, I keep tops on my rainwater buckets but I do it to keep
mosquitoes out. I still find some algae in my water, probably because the
buckets are white and let a lot of light in.

Hope this helps,
Philip
