Probably doesn't matter, it's the acidity that the algae doesn't like, but I do use apple cider vinegar for it's flavor. I add it to their grain and the horses are crazy for it. Covers up the taste of "nasty" things in the grain.

For smaller tanks, just adding vinegar every time you fill it will prevent algae. Horses don't mind the taste at all.

I keep koi and common goldfish in my galvanised tanks after I rinse the
tanks with vinegar.  I don not remember the last time I had to scrub a
horse trough.  This is a major accomplishment in FL, since the algae
grows really fast..  I dump them out and rinse a few times a year when I
think of it.  The fish need hiding places, like buckets or PVC, and I
feed them a few flakes a couple of times a week.  They stay out all
year, and I have some that are several years old.  It does not get all
that cold here, though; we only had ice on the troughs twice this
winter.  I'll be glad to answer any other questions.
