Sometimes, adding live plants to the enclosure helps. A vigorous grower like anacharis(elodea) or duckweed can sometimes actually "eat up" all of the nutrients in the water, leaving nothing for the algae. Also, duckweed blocks the light, which the algae needs to thrive.

The best fix, though, is a UV sterilizer. Nice job!
