*Change water frequently.
*Increase flow of water
*Remove algae using a toothbrush.
I am also facing same problem but water changing schedule helping me to fight with algae.

I second this. In addition to this, maybe you can try adding few ghost shrimps (if it's compatible) or add more phosphates. Adding more plants might help too.
