Suggest you see my Water Station design. This design is fairly easy to build, will keep the mosquitoes to a minimum and virtually no light for algae issues. A live example is on my page.

This design has been working maintenance free all summer. It doesn't allow light for algae, floats with the water surface to minimize drowning and the 1/2" holes are coarse enough to allow my bees easy access for drinking. As a bonus, the rain fills it up and is used as a cover weight.
