Copper sulfate and Cutrine (9% Chelated Copper) are good algicides. They treat micro alge, and filamentous alge. I apologize if I'm mutilating the spelling of these words. Duck weed and pond weed can be controlled by a product called Sonar. Very pricy, but a little goes a long way. If you use Sonar or for that matter any of these products, they kill the alge / pond weed and the decomposing matter can cause an oxygen deficiency. This can kill your fish.

PM me if you need more info. I've experienced the good and the bad.
