Algae Coontrol

[firsttimefishboy]

Hi all, I'm trying to get some help to prevent or reduce the algae I'm getting in my tank. IT is in a position where half of it does get some sunlight during the afternoon. I can't move the tank as there is absolutely nowhere else for it to go. I've been looking at some solutions. I'm going to thoroughly clean the tank and buy new plants for it. I thought I could cover the tank during the day when I'm out working to help block the sunlight. I also saw this Seachem Phosguard product. Am I right in thinking this will also help me prevent the algae? I also thought about purchasing a Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis), does anyone else have one? Any advice as normal most appreciated.

either spend alot of time satying on top of it with an algae magnet etc, or like you said, a good algae control product
