Lots of plant coverage will also cut down on the algae.
Try adding some quilt batting in your filter.

I just started my pond 2 weeks ago and because it's still chilly here in minnesota, I have algae because I can't add plants yet.
I'm waiting for some nice warm weather to arrive.
If anyone wants to share

by all means...send some this way.
