I did a 25% water change. Then it didn't clear up. I also change the carbon and filters and cleaned the canister. Added the usual amquel chlorine and ammonia remover. And still murky, I even did another 25% water change after I cleaned the canister with minimal results. The stream on my filter is running great. Some schooling would be greatly appreciated.
Green tint,murky water.

if you wana save a little money, your best bet is to just turn the lights off and up the water changes. is that an african aro i see? or a lung?
looking at it for a second time, maybe a channel cat?
we know its most likely algae. now WHY do you have it? too much light is the most common culprit 
is your tank near a window and getting direct sunlight? if so, try a blind or a curtain or something of the like.
how long are your lights on each day?? 6 hours or so should be plenty once you have the current problem cleared up.
to clear it up, try leaving the lights off for a couple days and not feeding. keep up with your WC's. using a UV isnt needed, but im pretty sure it wont do anything but help either if you can afford it.
