We've learned a lot about controlling Algae the last couple of months and finally have it under control with use of a dye that you add to the water.  Works great and you can still see the fish and everything else.  The only down side is that the Gold Fish take on a little different color due to the dye (they are still gold but look different in the water).  More to come later.
