Just to be clear, you want the bucket in partial sun, not no sun at all. That is, some sun should get into the bucket, but not expose the entire bucket. That's why I said it should be half covered. Algae needs some sunlight, but not too much, so giving it a mixture will let the algae grow in its optimal conditions wherever it grows best. You are basically recreating a miniature pool in the bucket.
