I have a large outdoor tank with goldfish and large gobbits of green slime floating around.?
Is it Ok just to scoop it out regularly? I think it gets too much sun but the fish seem happy.

just get a filter for the tank if you dont already have one and you can even get some fish to add to the tank that can help clean it up that actually eat the algae! like Cory fish they eat the green slime! IF THIS HELPED I NEED BEST ANSWER :D
but scooping it out is fine too. but it can be work to keep up with

it might help to get a smaller tank if you don't need all the room in it- the reason for that is that the fish don't use all the water in the tank so the water at the top or at the bottom isn't stirred enough and builds up toxic bacteria. yes you need to scoop it out. it can become very toxic to the fish and may lead to something fatel, hemeriging, heart attacks and even death! :( hope this answer helps <3
