if you have some extra bucks you can go grab a UV sterilizer and hook it in like with your canister filter, if you have one. That will kill all the green, you'll have clear water in a couple days tops.

Back when I had my 150g tall, I experienced water so green you couldn't see in 2 inches. I tried everything from blackouts to water changes, diatom filter, finally I got the UV sterilizer. I ran the diatom filter 1 more time till the water was as clear as I could get it, and the UV killed the rest, I've ran the UV ever since, and swapped it to the 125 when I got rid of the 150, never had green water again.
