Any standing water can get areas that mold grows, along with bacteria. If not used for drinking, you could add a CAP (using the lid) of bleach for every 10 gallons. The bleach will help prevent organisms from growing. You should also empty the tank every few months and scrub it with dish detergent and water. Cleaning mold with bleach does not kill mold; it only turns green or black mold to a bleached white color but the mold remains unless it is scrubbed out.
