Start with a big water change, try and get as much algae out as you can during that change. Keep doing those water changes to help tackle it. Algae is mainly due to an excess of nutrients, so you need to work out where it's coming from to stop it properly.

What do you have in your tank and how big is it? How much are you feeding? How long are your lights on? Overfeeding or having lights on too long are common causes of algae so you could try cutting back on both of those as well.
 
Does the tank receive direct / indirect sunlight from the window we see on pic 1 ?
 
Too much light and overfeeding always do that to me. Cut back on the light intensity and hours. I have floating plants that do a great job eating nutrients and managing light intensity for me.
