clean your filters!!!! clean your pump!!! sometimes all that is needed is opening
it up and cleaning the magnet and the hole it sits in.
leave the spring algae for now. later use a brush to wind the string algae up and
get rid of it. it is a WONDERFUL water cleaner and keeps the pond healthy until the
biofilter and plants are booking.

(I'm also thinking it's pump has seen better days.. it's flowrate is much
less then before, and I think it's time to just use it for a decorative
pump, and replace it with something stronger.)

You mentioned string algae.. I have quite a bit on the liner and rock in the
pond.. I've been removing some of it.. should I let it be?
