Default Green Water woes...is my pump not adequate?

I have a 4 year old 550 gal watergarden. 1200 gph pump in a skimmer. All
summer long last year I had green water (until Oct.) I had lots of floaters
and o2-aters. I have 13 goldfish which I do not feed. A landscaper suggested
I get a larger pump and a larger diameter hose to the waterfall. It would
turnover the water at a faster rate, thus eliminating the algae. It is in full
sun. I think its because the water at the bottom is not being recirculated,
since the skimmer moves the water at the top. Any suggestions from other
experienced ponders?
