The setup you posted seems just fine. If you follow that you should be alright. Your haveing algae blooms because of the fact your changing the water so frequently. When you do this you introduce new minerals and what not into the existing water, which interm "shocks" the water. If you have ever kept fish you would know what im talking about. But, ways to reduce this is instead of changing all of the water, just change 1/4 of it every week. Also make sure you do not have the tank by a window. Sunlight makes algae go crazy. Keep the water at about 76 degrees, with the use of a submersible heater. Also be sure to have a good filter for the tank. They will help keep the water clean and help cut back on algae due to the biological bacteria that grows inside the filter media. If yah have any more questions just ask!
