Algae in fish tank

Help!

DH has spent a ridiculous amount of time and money on trying to sort our fish tank out (fancy goldfish) over many months.

It sits in the kitchen not too far from a window, that gets sun in the afternoon, although they are not in the direct sunlight - don’t know whether this has any bearing.

Within a day or so of cleaning - it looks like this. He checks the water quality often, done all sorts on filtration, removed plants, added plants amongst other things including removing their poop regularly and just can’t get the tank to remain algae free. Popped to a friends recently and noticed there tank after many years of ownership was pristine inside, no signs of any algae - similar position in kitchen only difference is her’s had cupboards overhead.

Please help us crack this algae problem - for this reason alone what was meant to be a low maintenance pet for the DC, has turned out to be a full time job!

There’s a fishnet topic board, someone there will probably be able to help.
