The paint on the exterior of a black tank is purely cosmetic. The tank underneath is still doing its job.
Algae need two things to colonize a water tank: light and warmth. Photosynthesis works the same way in your tank as it does in a lake. Black polyethylene blocks virtually all visible light from reaching the water. No light, no photosynthesis, no algae.
Kenya sits between 15 and 27°C year-round. That’s the exact optimal growth range for most freshwater algae species. A translucent or lightly colored tank in Nairobi is a petri dish. Green slime on the walls within weeks. Biofilm buildup that clogs pipes and breeds bacteria.
The artist here is Daisy Buyanzi (@yanzi_arts), a Nairobi painter. The flowers are genuinely stunning. The tank underneath is still black. The light-blocking material is intact. The water is fine.
The replies are debating aesthetics vs function when there’s no actual tradeoff here. She painted over the solution without removing it. That’s the whole point everyone is missing.
The boring color is doing more engineering work than any other feature of the tank. Buyanzi just made it beautiful without breaking anything.

This is beautiful, but there is a reason water tanks are black.

Mass killings happening in Sudan.
Protests and a curfew in Tanzania on election day.
Deadly clashes in Cameroon after a stolen election.
Protests in Ivory Coast over electoral manipulation.
Uganda opposition being threatened and attacked.
The level of atrocities African leaders commit are unbelievable. All in the name of holding on to power and wealth.
