A question... is the tank clear plastic? If so, can you somehow cover it, to minimize the light that can get in? Light accelerates algae growth. If the tank is opaque, of course, this suggestion won't help.

I suggest really scrubbing your tank for a long time with a higher concentration of bleach, and leaving it soak for a while. If it's glass you can bake it in the oven at 250 F / 120C for an hour.
Thanks. Unfortunately, it's plastic. I'll just increase the frequency of cleaning it.
