Do a 3 day blackout, minimum 50% water change beforehand, and another immeaditaly after.
 
wow... it would be kindof interesting to actually see a tank go all soupy like that. even though it would be a good way of checking how the tank water circulates, it looks more of a pita than what it's worth. hope it clears up soon, I hear the blackouts usually fix the problem.

you could also try getting more plants to absorb the light and nutrients better than the algae. also if the tank is getting direct sunlight it might be better if it were more shaded.
