In addition to what kathy said, you are feeding way too often. Twice a day?
Remember feed no more then what the fish can eat in 5 minutes, otherwise it
just sinks to the bottom and rots, which reduces water quality. Additionally
the more the fish eat, the more they poop, which is just perfect algae
fertilizer.

Cut down on your feeding to once a day or once every other day. Remember
plenty of mosquitoes, flies, gnats, etc fall into the pond, and the fish
feed on them too. Add plants like water hyacinth and watercress to suck up
the nutrients in the water, try add shade to prevent full sun exposure.

Water changes don't really help, it takes about 2-3 water changes to clear
up the pond, and a week later the pond is pea green again anyways, unless
you do the above mention items.
