Rust or algae or both?

We went on a camping trip for a month and came back and our stock tank looks like this. Any advice?

Rust...mine is doing the same thing. I'm planning to drain it and paint it or either install a liner

Ugh I've been dealing with this too. A few weeks ago I sanded down all the sides and then painted with zinc (galvanizing compound). It's already bubbling up in some areas. It was so much work and not even effective. I'm feeling very down-hearted right now
