No need. Algea feeds from light. Just leave your aquarium light on longer and it will grow pretty quickly. Just be sure to turn your light off some to offer your fish a normal day/night cycle.

How do you fix algae growth in an aquarium?
Is your tank by a window? If so you may want to move it away. High light levels combined with nutrients (nitrates and phosphates) will cause algae, at least in normal freshwater aquariums. The causes for algae in saltwater are identical, but the algaes are of different types. The solution to algae issues is quite simple; reduce the amount of light, and the amount of nutrients in the water, and the algae will not be able to survive. Some algae in an aquarium is normal; in fact, it is impossible not to have algae. There are many different kinds of fish and invertebrates that can help control algae by eating it. In freshwater, I recommend dwarf plecos, otto catfish, snails, and algae eating shrimp. In freshwater, herbivorous fish such as tangs and angelfish can help, but the best control there are various types of snails.
