Hi,
If you mean filamentous algae, then this is better controlled than
iradicated.


The simplest way of controlling it, without going to the unnecessary expense
of filters, is to plant as much water plants such as lilies as you can
manage, which will screen off the light from the invasive weed and in time
will kill it off.
