    first of all you have to clean your aquarium by your own hands if algae is to much present after cleaning buy a protein skimmer filter or if you have this filter change its cartridge it will help not to grow algae in the tank

    i suggest you get some sort of algae eater. snail would help but they might breed and you might get to many. if you cant get and algae eater of some sort you should clean the tank. for more info go to this site . http://www.bestfish.com/tips/010600.html

    If your tank is over 55g or more get a yellow tang . Yellow tangs are the best agle eatings of tangs. Get afew guppys and snails. Depending on what u got in the tank get ghost shrimps. Ghost shrimps are good too. How ever i would not try treat your agle. As agle treatment can be deadly to fish. The agle its self its not harmfully to your fish it just look ugly. So i recommoned getting some of the fish that i just recommed. And increasing your amout of water you change.
    And get another fitre

    fill the tanks with distilled water it will cost more but tap water has algae spores or seeds or Wat ever and it will grow when the environment is right also try to get some snails ex... to eat it
