I used all kinds of chemicals and the reed mats, it cost me alot of bucks and only to have the alga come back again and again. I then bought an inexpensive UV filter on ebay (just type in UV Pond Filter) and within 3 weeks my pond was clear and so far have not had alge return.
It is so nice go go out and see the fish and be able to tap on the side of the pond and have them come up to greet you. I only have a few plants in the pond and none of them seem affected either way with the green water or without.

In my opinion the uv filter system is the way to go and get rid of chemicals altogether. At one time my pond was so green you couldn't see fish an inch below the water so I had to do something....
