I have a 125g freshwater fish tank with 5 goldfish in it and two emperor 400 filters in it. The water has always been clear since I've owned it for the last 4 months until I added my second emperor 400 filter and then the water turned from cloudy to green within a week so someone at my pet store told me to do 50% water changes every 2-3 days until it clears up then do my regular 25% water changes a week. but this has been going on for two weeks and I don't know what to do please help!

To be honest I know it's bad of me but I usually don't check that I've had these goldfish for 4 years and this is there new home and they have always been healthy so I have never been worried about it and I love quite a long way away from any pet store or Walmart or pool store that would sell a kit for me to test my water but if I have to make that trip I guess I can! Besides anything else changing, nothing has changed!

Green water is algae floating in the water.
Total blackout for a week might help but most just go with uv like the green machine.
